Hello - good day to all !
Any experience/experiences that might provide a few tips/watch out fors etc, most gratefully received.
Contemplating the run of buried SWA cabled over 100m for outdoor lighting (and electric gates) passing by a pole mounted transformer, where it's been confirmed by the distributor that there is a Tank/HV earth electrode setup at the pole. Whilst explaining this was not a rigid rule (more a guide and just as well as it shuts off the only feasible route), it was suggested best [in this case] to stay out of a 9m radius if burying cables - but the situation would be helped if this had to be compromised, by running the cabling in ducting/conduit when in the ground.
What are opinions on the siting of concrete pads with threaded rod to secure [conductive] column lighting in this context; this would seem a more serious concern within the 9m advice, is it a no-no, is there anything that can be done to mitigate (aside to using all non-conducting materials), or is it a non-issue (I feel not) ?
I have no experience of such a long distance, but any tips and advice on pulling SWA along duct for over 100m would be uiseful too :-) \\m/
Thank you all
Habs
