What about for circuits that are not mains connected? We have a situation where there are buried cables between a controller pack and a remote device. At what voltage level is conduit required for the buried cables?

However I'm not clear from reading it that the Building Regs (which are statutory) make BS7671 a legal requirement - is there not scope for use of an alternative method provided it can be demonstrated that the same (or greater) safety was achieved?
