My cool new way to earth SY screen. Feel free to keep this one as a freebie... lol

[wade88]

Pluck the other cores from the center of the braid, leave the earth in, strip insulation from end of earth, twist together with SY screen and boot lace ferrule together. Perfecto. Less than 5 minutes work and a lovely neat job IMO.

Or use the correct glands lol

If your using stuffin glands with sy (not that I agree with it, well I don't agree in a lot of sy installed but that's by the by)

Prise the cores out of the braiding, sleeve it with G&Y stick a ferrule or crimp on the end and terminate.

you just know this "latest technique" is going to get slammed............;-)

it does look as if theres a chance the braiding could rub against the conductor insulation.......

hmmm , i'll give you an award for effort though.........

at £17 each.... I think my ingenuity not only proves a cost effective and time efficient method of terminating screening but also shows when faced WITHOUT the *prefered* gland on a job there are nice tidy quick alternatives.

Don't poo on my party

And shouldn't you sleeve the braiding if your going to do it that way?

If i was to use your method of incorporating the braid and CPC, at least i would use a stuffing gland into the enclosure!! What on earth are those things your using in the background entering the enclosure?? Look like some sort of PVC gland for plastic flexible conduit??

And yes, this arrangement would need some form of sleeving or heat shrink covering...

So you should!

Use the correct glands or find a different cable.

Wow didn't even see that, I just assumed stuffing glands were used. That's dog rough to have no cable retention/grip at all. And a tie-wrap to the tray doesn't really count lol.

You have three options, you can only pick two:

1/ the job will be done right
2/ the job will be done quick
3/ the job will be done cheap

Wade, you have a total disregard of electrical safety. Every time you post something, cost is predominant.

I only have one word for this..

​BODGER

​

If you did that on one of my jobs or on one I inspected I would chuck you off site and ensure that you were never allowed back, that is a load of bolloxs.

If the glands are £17 for SY do the job in SWA, it's lot more suitable for 440v.

Re: My cool new way to earth SY screen. Feel free to keep this one as a freebie... lo

Put the cost of the glands in your price? This is the reason why people who want to do the job the correct way don't get the work.

Why didn't you use bottom entry into the enclosures ?
