Discuss My cool new way to earth SY screen. Feel free to keep this one as a freebie... lol in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
Been using good quality SY gland about £3 each for a while now, £17 quid :ack2:..... must have seen you coming.
Seriously hope this is sarcasm ..... basic electrical common sense would tell you it should be earthed if used as a general purpose low voltage cable when permitted and grounded if used for its original design as a screened control wire, either way it would be earthed in some manner or other.Just read this lot, and uh, so the braid on SY is supposed to be earthed eh?
Everydays a schoolday!

I see it used all the time with screen taped off unearthed, its unbelievable how many so called competent sparks and engineers use SY without earthing it ... it scares me that just because the reg's dont specifically cover this set-up as its a cable been used outside its original design that they cant use there electrical knowledge and theory to make a judgement call ....well either that or they have just blagged their way through their career jobs.
Hence i asked you TFS2012
Know what you mean mate, sarcasms a bit hit n miss when delivering through the internet!
