I’ve installed two 750KVA 11/.55KV transformers. We couldn’t use our usual 600mm PVC/PVC 4 sector Al singles as the switchroom was in the middle of the plant and the transformers outside. ATA was no good as our product rotted aluminium, so SWA it had to be.

I was terminating the 11KV feeds but I got dragged around to the LV side. I don’t know who designed the terminal box but they had a sense of humour. No way were two 300mm 3½c SWA going in that.

Being the helpful sort that I am, I left them to it. My mate on the MV side was wetting himself with laughter at the cursing and swearing emanating from the LV side.
 
Just a note, stainless steel will pass eddie currents. Just because it's not magnetic, doesn't mean it's safe to use.
