Why in the name of god would you use banjos on a metal gland plate?
What purpose would they serve?
The transformer glands are quite adequately earth via the aluminium plate so no need for banjos, the switchgear end is in to an insulated gland plate. Having an earth at both ends would cause circulating currents.
I await your answer with interest.
the glands would have come with them and I'd have fitted them, personal preference or just habit I suppose.
.
depends.But to what end? What would be the advantage of fitting them?
It's like glanding an SWA onto galvanised trunking, you wouldn't fit a banjo then would you?
Doing something because it is just habit suggests a lack of thought or understanding of the job in hand.
I'm not suggesting anything.

Neat job, Heat shrink would have finished it off nicely.

Good spot. That's the isolated endBanjo's?
It depends, If I am using the SWA as the earth or I cant banjo it the other end of the cable for some reason then I will banjo it to the galv trunking.
I have always been of the opinion that even if you dont technically need it if it is there why not fit it?
Unless of course it means running in 20m of earth single or it would look stupid or out of place but thats a different kettle of fish.
