Question about earthing SWA

[SaladFingers]

You say "usually the cover goes over the whole thing" which clearly isn't the case.

You're making a habit of being wrong aren't you.

Not really, no - as usually a lot do, or have done until the past year or so. If you've been sparking long enough, you'll know perfectly well what I mean.

And is it really a race to prove someone wrong and be right? Does it really give someone such a high sense? Really that important to be? Is it really wrong to use a box as most actually do?

Don't be so pedantic!

I remember the one way wylexes that used to be like that, but I can't recall any others that have this configuration apart from that contactum one you've shown, hence my earlier statements.


No not at all I think we're all just getting fed up of having to correct all the misinformation you keep churning out on here.

That's not really the case.

It's no fatal error, you're just being pedantic.

So what if someone used a box, which most do and another poster showed a photo of.

You're being really picky over a box rather than an actual problem.

Shall we take it into pedants corner if you want to discuss more? I'd rather not waste pages in someone elses thread.

What are you on about now?

I said earlier that the use of a box is fine.

You keep accusing people of being pedantic when they correct your mistakes. Why is this?

Suggesting a box isn't a mistake.

Banging on and on about having to be totally right 'no here's one look' is silly. Why is this?

Infact, please, take it to pedants corner, this all over someone elses thread isn't right simply because you just can't let it go.

We've done the box talk, why not just let it go?

 

[RF Lighting]

Let what go?

Salad has lost the plot.

Salad has lost the plot.

Over using a box that most do?

No.

The ones who've lost the plot are those who can't move forward in the discussion.

What box are you on about?

This is someone elses thread, as I've said, lets take it here

Lets resolve it here so the OP receives correct factual advice.

Because he's a pathetic little t**t who is so thick that he really believes that when he does that everybody will stop thinking he is wrong and start thinking that the fault lies entirely with the person correcting his mistakes.

I don't see the issue with using the style of box such as Contactum, just make sure the metal box is right up against the cover, grommet the SWA inner cable as it exits the box and cutout a slotted hole in the plastic so the inner cable can pass through, easy enough to do without losing the IP2X protection (providing it enters the sides or bottom, top will need to be IP4X).

Hi, thanks for the replies however I'm not sure I conveyed what I meant properly. taking the swa all the way to the CU isn't really best in this case as it would have to do some tight turns, under floorboards and is quite a distance. There is already a 6mm feed spare which has been run and easily accessible. I just need to know about how to earth the armour correctly.

Thanks

Did you not see this at the top of the forum?
