Terminating SWA with Wylex REC Supply Isolators

[Michaelwgroves]

I need to terminate 16mm SWA 2 core cable in Wylex REC Supply Isolators. Going to be using armour for earth. Whats the best thing to do with the earth. I have 12 of these to install. The only idea I have is to terminate armour on steel trunking then run 2 cores into Wylex REC Supply Isolators. Lastly connect earth back to intake. I'm sure there is a better way, I dont want to use steel trunking unless I have to?

as mentioned in my last post would it not be easier to use metal clad 2 module enclosure and fit main switch in it can gland swa straight into it no need for adaptable box

Our posts crossed, but don't forget this is coming out of my pockets, 12 No. 2 module enclosures = expensive, 1 No. 25mm core drill = cheap(skate)

Someone tell me the link I sent is wrong.................................

Ah the joys of not quoting for the correct equipment.

What is it that you're actually trying to achieve here? What's the project?

just get adaptable box with no knockouts and drill 25 mm hole where you want

I did not explain myself, it's my property.

Not sure yet, have accounts with TLC and WF, cable prices seem similar, although best price I've seen is www.electricalcounter.co.uk 2 core = £390 inc vat. 3 core = £515 inc vat

even more reason not to do it on the cheap. I'm guessing you'll have tenents in them

12 No. new CU's for Bedsits. Everything is electric, no gas. Looking to keep costs down. Got some good advice in another post. Most cost effective option is SWA, but dilema is CPC.
If I can get 2 core in 20mm KO's I'm fine. If not it looks like I can't get off the shelf so will need to buy Adaptable box and drill my own, along with metal CU. Unless I can put 2 core in 32mm KO ?

Out of interest what CU's are you fitting in the bedsits?

why the hell are you faffing about with adaptable boxes and these switches ? ?!?!?

might as well just get the Wylex 110m range of switches ! easy to terminate 25mm SWA and the like.


no messing about !!!

dont you need to fuse these SWA submains anyway ? or are they all ready suitably fused upstream ?

try electric cable .com. in my experience you might be able to get 3c for not much more than tlc's 2c

MK K5512s, RCBO for lights, rest on RCD.

why not a twin RCD ?

Nice soloution, but 12 No. Wylex 110M = about £800
If it was only for one or two, I would go for this.

Good prices, nice one. I'll probably buy from here regardless 2 core £360 inc vat, 3 core £483 inc vat. But, it's still £120 difference!
