Can PVC row trunking effectively prevent people from getting an electric shock?

PVC row trunking has significant advantages in preventing people from getting an electric shock.
First, PVC material itself is an excellent electrical insulator. There are no freely movable charge carriers in its molecular structure, which makes it impossible for current to be conducted inside it. When the wires are placed in PVC row trunking, even if the wires are damaged or leaking, the current will not be conducted through the cable trough to the surface of the cable trough, thereby effectively blocking the possibility of people coming into contact with the current. For example, in home decoration, PVC row trunking can safely accommodate various wires, and even if there is an accidental leakage, family members will not be electrocuted by touching the cable trough.
Second, the structural design of PVC row trunking helps reduce the risk of electric shock. The cable trough is generally closed or semi-closed, and can hold the wires well. This design prevents people from directly contacting the wires and reduces the probability of accidentally touching live wires. Moreover, the edges and interfaces of the trunking are usually processed without sharp corners or burrs, which will not scratch the insulation layer of the wires, further ensuring the safe placement of the wires in the trunking and avoiding electric shock accidents caused by exposed wires.
Furthermore, the installation specifications and supporting designs of PVC row trunking also take into account the anti-electric shock factor. During the installation process, the trunking will be firmly fixed to the wall or other supporting structures, reducing the exposure of wires or damage to the trunking due to loosening or displacement. At the same time, some trunkings will reserve inspection openings when they are designed. These openings are also closed under normal circumstances and are only opened when professionals perform maintenance, reducing the chances of ordinary people contacting the internal wires, thereby building a comprehensive protection system to prevent people from electric shock. In short, PVC row trunking effectively avoids the risk of electric shock through many factors such as material properties, structural design and installation specifications.
