Earth Banjo Securing Practices

AMK


Recently, I’ve noticed an increasing trend in the use of self-tapers to secure earth banjos. The other  end of the cable has an earth tail from the banjo, secured with a 6mm bolt and nut. Has anyone else observed this practice, and what are your thoughts on its effectiveness or potential implications? I’d be interested in hearing different perspectives or experiences with this setup.

  • To my mind Banjos have had their day - much more workmanlike solutions (e.g. earthing nuts) are now available which design out almost all these potential problems.

    Yes, definitely ... unless there's a limitation on space at the cable entry in the enclosure, or, as Gareth says, insufficient clearance to live parts to put a tag/crimp on the inside of the enclosure.
