My mate has an swa cable terminated in his CU incorrectly. It's either a 2.5mm² or 4mm² 3 core (I'm guessing judging by the size) but it's just been taken straight in via a big 32mm stuffing gland so the armouring isn't terminated at all. According to what he's told me, it looks like the only knockout left available was a 32mm one and the person that did it for him tried to drill it out as a 20mm but failed miserably (not surprising I suppose !).
Seeing as the CU is internal and doesn't really need a waterproof connection, would it be OK for me to reterminate it for him using a 32mm swa gland ? I know it's massively too big for that size of cable but I was just thinking then at least I could expose a bit more armouring to get in the gland correctly and earth it for him to make it a bit safer.
The cable feeds a small outside shed where he charges his e-bike and leaves a battery tender type charger on his motorbike if that makes any difference.
TIA
