Either seal tight to ridged as there may be an exemption to the 1.5m rule here,Teck cable to ridged up the side of the cage or pipe the whole thing in ridged.The run is only 5m but full of choke points making piping arduous.Regardless the status quo is tenuous at best and asking for trouble as nothing is bonded.Our current inspector would be very upset if he saw this and give us the where is your common sense speech.
This installation however is out of my hands as it's warranty work.I was sent to replace the fuse and found a intermittent short so it bounced back to the installing company who thinks it's ok to run wire without mechanical protection.Vibration from running the machine alone is causing the metal straps to cut into the wire,little or no thought was put into this.
The housekeeping staff is also cleaning out their garbage bins and dumping the water and corrosive cleaner through the metal grated ramp right on the wire.I'm looking for relevant code rules to change there mind.
