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

  • An uninsulated earth conductor in twin and earth is probably more effective than an insulated one, if someone puts a nail through a T&E and it clips a live conductor it’s more likely to short out onto a bare CPC than an insulated one.

    It is amazing how on a wall several metres wide someone can manage to hit a 2.5 mm conductor in a twin and earth cable with a nail putting a picture up.
