    Earthing Armour with BS951 clamps?

    I was replacing a socket that had a cracked face and as I took said socket off I noticed the armour was earthed by using BS951 clamps. I wasn’t expecting to see any earthing of the armour as the SWA was in a conduit drop to the socket. I’ve never seen it done like that before but now I walk...

    BS951 clamp used for TNS?

    I have just completed an EICR. The earthing is TN-S. However, there is a BS951 clamp used for this. Is this acceptable? Did the DNO ever use this a BS951 as a means for clamping around the supply cable or would this always be DIY? Ze is 0.23ohms, but that doesn't mean a great deal if the...

    BS951 clamp onto incoming supply SWA cable - DIY TNS?

    I recently came across an installation, very rough in practically all areas, however one thing caught my eye. The TNS earthing arrangement was via a BS951 clamp onto the armour of the incoming supply cable. This wasn't a lead supply cable (as I have seen before with BS951 clamps) it was SWA...

    BS951 earth clamps old stock OK to use?

    Evening all. I've acquired a large quantity of BS951 earth clamps (over 200!). They are stamped BS951:1999. I'm sure the last ones I had were to a later version of BS951. Will they still be OK to use? They do have the safety notice tag with them. They are not coloured, I know most are now...

    Why the colour scheme for BS951 earth clamps?

    Can anyone explain to me why we have different colour earth clamps? I know that red is for dry environments, blue for damp/corrosive and green same as blue but for larger diameter earth wires. Why can't we use a single colour for all environments, the clamps appear to me to be made the same?
