In conduit systems, why are safety barriers important?

Safety barriers in conduit systems are critical primarily for protecting the conduit from physical damage. These barriers serve to shield the conduit from external factors that can cause wear or damage, such as impact from tools, heavy machinery, environmental conditions, or potential hazards in work areas. By preventing such damage, safety barriers help maintain the integrity of the electrical systems enclosed within the conduit, ensuring that wiring remains safe and functional.

In addition to protection from physical impact, safety barriers can also contribute to the overall safety of installations by preventing unauthorized access or accidental contact with the conduit, thus further safeguarding the electrical infrastructure. This protective measure is essential for prolonging the lifespan of the conduit and avoiding costly repairs or safety risks associated with damaged electrical wiring.
