Earth Sleeving ... what's it for?

gkenyon

Prompted by a comment in this thread:  Have you ever done it like this?

I thought it would be worth airing some opinions on the purpose of 'earth sleeving':

(a) According to BS 7671 (what Regulations require it, and for what purpose?)

(b) According to other risk reduction measures

  • 543.3.201. And as that only applies to c.p.c.s ≤6mm² and comes under the heading 'Preservation of electrical continuity of protective conductors' I guess the official purpose is to increase the physical robustness of the conductor. Personally +1 for insulating it from exposed live parts inside enclosures (to increase reliability if not safety).
