I am installing 3 core SWA using a piranha nut. What size of earthing lead to connect the piranha nut to earth terminal do I need? Does it also need to be 10mm or I can get away with 6mm?
 
6.0mm² will be fine.
 
Thank you. Can I just use live or neutral wire from 6mm twin and earth if I mark it as CPC?
Yes but it looks a bit unprofessional.
 
No table I just know the conductivity of the armour is around 4.0mm² copper equivalent so 6.0mm² will be fine.
