&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;The building regulations Approved Document B2, ‘Fire safety: Buildings other than dwellinghouses’, defines a protected circuit as:An electrical circuit protected against fire.&lt;br /&gt;

|width=&amp;quot;100%&amp;quot;|An electrical circuit protected against fire.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Protected circuits are required where it is critical that an electrical circuit continues to operate during a fire. This should include the use of sufficiently robust cables, careful selection of cable routes, and / or by the provision of physical protection in areas where cables may be susceptible to damage. Cable supports should generally be non-combustible and such that circuit integrity will not be reduced below that afforded by the cable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cabling should at least meet the requirements of PH 30 classification or an equivalent standard and should only pass through parts of the building in which fire risk is negligible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Protected circuits should be separate from other circuits.&lt;br /&gt;
