And theres always the risk also of a meteorite strike as wellI guess Jamie's point is that if the cable were partially cut through, you could leave the line and part of the armour intact but sever the CPC, hence losing the earth connection to the armour and the sub DB without the circuit protection operating. Normally if the CPC is earthed at the source, you can't cut through all of the armour without hitting the line, so the protection will operate before the last of the CPC is broken. It's a far fetched scenario but it's needless because it's a bodge.
if the guy has got the SWA into the right hand CU through a hole, then there's no excuse for not fitting a gland.
Welcome back Glen.perhaps he wasn`t capable....
with a spade apparently.Other than the poor glanding this is being over complicated. How in the name of god are you going to damage a cable to the extent the CPC and the armourings are severed but the phases remain live?
Fit a feeder directional relay, should only cost a couple of grand + the pilot cable.
Crazy thread.
