    Armoured Cable Question.

    “The reason for condemning the supply to the oak building was because of the test reading it got, it was 371 ohms which made it non compliant" We need to understand in layman's terms.

    Depth to bury armoured cable in concrete with vehicles passing over?

    I will/may be burying 16mm SWA in concrete to route it to an outbuilding (for the kiln I have just been chatting about!). This will be getting driven over by cars. Is there an ideal depth for this? Also, does the SWA require any further form of protection?
