i agree mate and thats the way i have done previously i was only doing this from what another sparky advised me to do ...... hence me asking the questions because most of them are done like this around our place, This was something i found on the forum
" braid is designed for screening and not earthing. Unless required as a screen you won't find many electrical engineers earthing it but rather cutting it back and taping it before it goes through a plastic gland. As it is clear sheathed above and sheathed below, the chances of it becoming live following cable damage without the cpc getting hit also is pretty slim"
i just get different opinions i just wanted to know if it was a reg that the braiding has to be earthed/glanded or if it can be left like in the image i posted
also yes the spur is earthed from the main cpc side but i have been told it could still become live hence me raising the questions becuase the braid is not earthed
cheers
