S.W.A. Armour Earthing.

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.

  • But personally I like a large plastic stuffing gland into a plastic box at the load end if creating a TT island, rather than trying to fit heatshink over cut back armour.

    But you need an accessible connection to the end of the armour in order to test Zs or R2.


    At least the brass gland into a plastic enclosure arrangement (with a boot or heatshrink over the gland outside of the enclosure) gives access with the enclosure lid removed.
