S.W.A. Armour Earthing.

Zoomup
Which regulations(s) require the steel wire armouring of a S.W.A. cable to be earthed if it is NOT used as a circuit protective conductor?


Case 1. Cable buried underground.


Case 2. Cable NOT buried underground.

    The armour is cable containment, so as such it is an exposed conductive part, and must be Earthed to cause automatic disconnection of the supply.. 411.3.2


    I assume you are trying to have some kind of competition or was this a genuine inquiry. I refer you to the index of BS7671, exposed conductive part.
