HELP sizing SWA___________

[Judd]

For a Job I need to extend and relocate 3x SWA cables, after inspecting the cables I first concluded that they were 25mm 2core, after then comparing an off cut of 25mm 3 core to the existing cables the 3core appears the same size or even possibly smaller, I am now pondering if the existing cables are 35mm 2 core,
I only have the one picture at the moment but will be able to post a picture of inside the enclosures in a couple of days, all cables fit into a standard 60947-3, would 35mm fit into one?
Any help appreciated thanks

Would look better if everything was lined up neatly. Sorry, not the feedback you were wanting, but I had to say it!

It look like it could be either but the only way I know to be sure is to get the micrometer out and do the sums to be sure which is what I would do. The BS951 clamps are going I presume? and the swa properly glanded? Single insulated tails are not good either bit of a poor install all in all looks like you have your work cut out.

 

[Judd]

They are all double insulated they just have red and black sheaths. Yes everything is getting re-done, A new hut is being built about 15 metres away to house the 3 existing supplies and a new 4th supply,

 

[Judd]

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't cables >25 sector shaped?

why you are there, try and take a better picture of the snail on the rotatory switch.

Are they SWA, or split con?

SWA. you can see the BS951 clamps on the armour of 2 of them.

 

[buzzlightyear]

can you not see on that swa cable what cross sex it is .ask for the original test certs !

Unfortunately the size isn't marked on them

Oh yes, a proper install that...

 

[buzzlightyear]

the only thing is missing is George Formby banjos on that SWA.

Get a 25mm and 35mm through crimp and see which one fits properly.

It depends when they were made and who made them, Ive seem some old 10mm 2 core with shaped conductors before and some 35mm 4 core with round.

too sensible. 10 biscuits docked from pay. .

What F***wit cut the pvc outer sheath to install BS951 clamps. What the hell would have been wrong to crimp a lug onto the earth cable and bolt it on to the banjo with the gland

Because that would be too simple for some people, I would crimp it and use a banjo or locking nut.
