Swa armour earthing

[keniff]

Thanks for the response guys, I have been taught that the armour is ok to use as the cpc relevant to size, I just have a 3core cable in the ground so using the 3rd core for my earth. In my situation I have stripped the three cores so they gland off and pass through an adaptable box to the consumer unit.

There you have it then, nothing stopping you connecting both ends of your SWA cable to the relevant earthing points at both ends!! Double bubble if you like, SWA and your third core!!! LOL!!

If you like, it'll be like calling your third core your main earthing conductor and the SWA as your CPC!! lol!!

so you need to earth the gland with a banjo and fly lead. use same size as the cpc conductor. (assuming it's a non-metallic ad. box)

I shall earth both ends, I have those piraña nuts (poor fish) the cable is fed by a metal switch fuse so I'll use the nut but use a flylead aswell to make sure a good connection
