Discuss Can we use the armour of an SWA as the CPC??? in the Electrical Wiring, Theories and Regulations area at ElectriciansForums.net
This is the reason why we were taught at collage not to use it!!
You have been taught in a college never to consider using the armoured of a SWA as the CPC?
The mind just has to boggle at some of these so called competent to teach Electrical lecturers these day's.
I think the course I was on was symptomatic of the way this country has gone in the last few years, "keep it simple & go heavy on the Health & safety".
I think the course I was on ( 3yrs @ 1 day a week ) was symptomatic of the way this country has gone in the last few years, "keep it simple & go heavy on the Health & safety". I have lots of questions to ask which most of you will roll your eyes at.
I know mate I sometimes just can't believe what is happening to our industry.
Not this young lads fault but the institution.
Apparently teaching someone to run a cat cable and terminating a RJ45 plug is considered more relevant to an electrician than running and terminating MICC.
Malcolm,
It even seems that these so-called lecturers are teaching students to favour radial circuits over RFCs !!! It's not going to be long, if that continues, that the sparks of tomorrow will be gasping in despair at the thought of having to fault find a ring circuit let alone test one!!
I think the whole curriculum of student training, needs a good kick up the arse. Just wait and see all the lecturers on here now, come back defending all the modern virtues of the courses they run ... The fact is, at best all we are producing these days are poorly trained domestic installers. It's left to them, to gain the experience they need, to become a well rounded electrician
I recently found an swa used in this way to a garage, personally in such a zone I would never try to use the sheathing and so installed a rod to earth the satellite box, maybe I dont like to cut corners but then I never take chances just for an easy life

Well, this is where the training & experience I mentioned earlier comes into play!!!
