I have a customer who is having Pod Point install one of their chargers at a car port, some distance from the house.
SWA (10mm2) for the supply will be run to a small consumer unit at the car port, with the Pod Point installed adjacent.
A 2-core cable is also required to connect the Pod Point to an energy clamp back at the house intake.
Pod Point have specified a 7-2-2C PVC screened cable as suitable for the energy clamp - but this would need to be run e.g. in conduit.
The route is partially under the lawn, and ideally this 2-core cable would be an SWA type in the same trench.
Is there an armoured version of the above cable, or can someone recommend a suitable type?
I'm tempted to just suggest 1.5mm2 standard 2-core SWA, but I've no idea how critical the screening is.
Nor if Pod Point would throw a wobbly when they turn up if the cable is a bit bigger than they expect, with SWA they can't terminate.
