Discuss Can we use the armour of an SWA as the CPC??? in the Electrical Wiring, Theories and Regulations area at ElectriciansForums.net
Yes the SWA is a ferromagnetic enclosure. However there is apparently going to be an exception to the requirement for CPCs to be within the ferromagnetic enclosure for SWA in the first ammendment.
I'm not quite sure on the point about loosing business to someone fresh (inexperienced) into the industry...
I will just state that the reason I'm here and looking for this info is because my company (not electrical) has an old boiler installation (late 80s) which I believe to be unsafe / questionable methods have been used on installations / modifications. The company has had electicians into and around the area before and no-one has commented on the installation - thus it will remain unchecked until it goes wrong. By carrying out calculations and checks, I hope to be able to get things rectified...
This kind of topic may end up generating jobs for the more experienced electrician rather than taking them away.
Doesnt it depend on the csa and length of run as to whether or not it needs additional cpc?
This is the reason why we were taught at collage not to use it!!
You have been taught in a college never to consider using the armoured of a SWA as the CPC?
