after my rather vague thread Friday about finding the 30 mtrs of 10mm 2 core swa In the back of me van.....after some views on earthing to the shed, 3 options as far as I’m aware are
1. Run a single 10mm from main met upto the shed and use that
2. Use the armour of the swa, adiabatic permitting..
3. Connect the swa to the main met at source end and TT the shed
Each option is appruthe same cost wise and it’s my own house so Labour is not a big issue, as per title just after others views and preferences....

I would be going for option number 2

Like you said,tt @ shed end then main bond any extraneous conductive part,water,steel.
Shed protected by Rcd,Swa protected by mcb & Main earthing system,job a good one.

As long as there’s no bonding, use the armour as CPC.

appruthe??? WTF does that mean?????

 

[Baddegg]

Thanks chaps, nothing extraneous I am leaning towards the armour......better hon up on the adiabatic,

Predictive text Pete,bloody phone! Should have been approximately

 

[Deleted member 26818]

Think he means approx.

Thought that was the problem

Think he means approx.

Kin ell his predictive text is well and truly up screwed if that statement is right Spin

Have a rummage in the van until the pile of crud as you may find 30mts of 3 core 10mm, thank me later ;o)))))

Yeah….I was wondering how long that 2 core had been missing...….How long has it been there?...Is it red and black?

Lead I think........

 

[Baddegg]

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh......

 

[Baddegg]

You think the cable is amusing....I’m off to do the adiabatic! Wait till I post them maths up ha ha ha

I hear Croatia is nice............

Hi - if no bonding required then option 2 too

Talking of red and black..
I extended a 6mm rb t&e last week with some 6mm rb that I’ve had in the workshop for years...
Just had to get it off my chest, please don’t judge me or tell my mum

It did save on having to put ‘careful now’ stickers all over the place though
