SWA Earthing

Former Community Member
Former Community Member

Hi All, 

I'm currently Installing Cabling for a Hot Tub Instead of Running SWA all the way through the house, I have used 6mm T+E 10m to run from Consumer unit through the ceiling of the house. 

Just before it enters outside I have then used a Junction box to connect this with SWA. As the SWA only starts 10m away from the Consumer unit will I need to run a separate earth cable for the armour back to source (Consumer unit)?

Thanks in advance.

    The common standard by suppliers for 6.0 is indeed 2.5 but you could have it other sizes which usually means bespoke which usually means no thanks it`ll cost too much. I must admit that I see why some others think our reduced cpc sizes are a bit strange as it makes a bog standard short cct more than half mains voltage as a starting point on T&E etc (except 1.0) OK para paths sometimes mitigate some things but yes I accept that we are viewed to be a bit strange.
