Could any of you helpful lot on here give me a clear answer on the following.
Can the armouring of a 70'c swa cable be used as a compliant protective bonding conductor?
Looking at the actual size figures of armouring for 70'c swa cables and applying the equation 5.5 from page 55 of GN8 it works out that none of the armour sizes comply for use as a protective bonding conductor. Am i interpreting this correctly or am i missing something.
I have never used armouring as a bonding conductor previously but have come across a situation on an EICR where the armouring of a 2 core 25mm (60mm armour size)has been employed as both the earthing conductor and protective bonding. I fully understand using the tables in BGB that the armour complies as an earthing conductor but i need advice on the protective bonding part.
