I have been trying to follow this thread and may have gotten a little lost as I meandered through it.... Davezawadi's first reply seemed to be all that neeeded to be said..... It seems to me that Reg 522.8.10 is being given extra legs (misinterpreted?) and that has led me to reply. The Reg. does not mention that SWA need not be earthed when put (even unnecessarily) in conduit or a duct simply that alternative conductors offering no equivalent mechanical protection must be placed in a duct or conduit and thereby be afforded suitable mechanical protection.
