Twin core swa cable

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
I am putting a summerhouse in the garden.  There is an existing cable running from the house to the location of the new summerhouse.

It's not connected yet. 

The cable is twin core 25mm SWA.

Am I OK to use this for connection to the house electrics? 

Is the armour layer used for the earth? 

Thanks for any advice 

Dave

    Well you need to consider a few things.

    Current rating and volt drop for a start.

    also if you are using the armour as an earth (most likely) then what size is it (cross sectional area) and most importantly its equivalent resistance to copper, therefore is it ok as an earth and if needed for bonding too.

    So a bit more info needed about proposed use
