[driverman]

Hi Guys,
Taking 2395 exam shortly.

Im just wondering on schedule of test results form what do I put down for size of cpc for MICC cable and for SWA cables if the armour is used solely for the cpc?
I'm sure that somehow there must be procedure.

Many Thanks

for Micc put down sheath
SWA note SWA.
It is a lower quality of copper on a MICC sheath and the R1,R2 values per m are in the BGB and OSG. if asked you can do the calculations to prove itf its ok.
The SWA sheath size can vary slightly between manufacturer to prove it you have to do an Adiobatic with the K factor of steel as well as the manufacturers information.
If you look at the GN 1 section E there are tables for SWA.

Shamefully I'm going to ask what BGB and OSG stand for? Thanks

BGB = Big green Book BS7671 2008 ammendmet 1
OSG = On site Guide BS 7671 2008 ammendment 1
