New outbuilding question.

[davesparks]

To get rid of the outer sheath I was going to use an adaptable box with a SWA gland one side and a stuffing gland holding the inner circular section in the other side, before finally going to the individual cores for that drop.

Once the outer sheath is removed from the SWA it needs to be enclosed in conduit, the bedding layer is not compliant as an outer sheath and cannot be left unenclosed.

The cable will indeed be RCD protected by a 100ma RCD protecting the cable itself and then 30ma RCDs in the outbuilding.

That does not comply for protecting a cable buried in the wall, with the armour removed, and conductors protected by PVC conduit, it will have to be protected by 30mA RCD.

The intention was either to terminate in there or second choice would be a normal torpedo joint and going down the cavity therefore remaining 100% SWA.

I can't help wondering about earthing arrangements and how important aesthetics really are when attempting to make the best of a less than ideal situation.

So I dropped the SWA down the cavity in the end and put a Wiska box on the wall for the joint using an earthing bar and storm glands.

I then used the terminals and resin from a 16mm torpedo joint to join the cable and fill the box.
