It should be connected to the same earthing system as the protective device which protects the SWA cable is connected to.Does this statement suggest that it can be connected to whatever earthing arrangement exists at the origin OR alternatively, connected to a separate earthing arrangement at the load end?
It does though, if you, read, the law, the installation is under the control of the installer, thus the installation is under the control of the installer, ergo, EAWR applies.I did not say the EAWR does not apply to domestic work.
I said the EAWR does not apply to a domestic installation.
EAWR89:Ok this is all very well and could go on for weeks but please quote the exact wording of the exact regulation that clearly states armour must be earthed at the supply end.
Edit - reply to post #57.
If the SWA was feeding a separated TT installation then clearly the conductive part of the SWA would be earthed from the supply (TN) end,and electrically separated from the earthing arrangement at the load end..
So are you suggesting that the swa would need to be terminated in a separate enclosure before entering a metal consumer unit ( TT earthed) in an outbuilding for example?
No, the installation is under the control of the householder.It does though, if you, read, the law, the installation is under the control of the installer, thus the installation is under the control of the installer, ergo, EAWR applies.
You are missing the point the doing of the installation is under the control of the "electrician" no matter where they have been since or after, that job was under their control, they were at work, thus, EAWR & HASAWA applied at that time.No, the installation is under the control of the householder.
The installer bugged off ages ago and is probably installing other installations, or on here wondering where people get such weird ideas from.

It should not be connected to a separate earthing system.

Employed or Self-Employed both apply.
Sorry you are getting confused about what it is the Regulations apply to.You are missing the point the doing of the installation is under the control of the "electrician" no matter where they have been since or after, that job was under their control, they were at work, thus, EAWR & HASAWA applied at that time.

No, you are wrong, not me.Sorry you are getting confused about what it is the Regulations apply to.
To put it in simple terms, the ground does not have to comply with HASAWA.
If a worker then digs a hole in the ground, that task must comply with HASAWA.
Electricity does not have to comply with the EAWR.
How you use electricity when conducting a task for work must comply with the EAWR.
An installation in a building which is not used for work purposes does not have to comply with the EAWR.
How you use the electricity provided by that installation when conducting a task for work must comply with the EAWR.
An installation in a building that is a place of work, must comply with the EAWR.
How you use the electricity (irrespective of whether it is for a task of work) provided by the installation, must also comply with the EAWR.
Compliance with the EAWR can in many respects be achieved by compliance with BS7671.
So if this is true and the installation does not comply with EAWR, how does the installer comply with HASAWA Reg 3?Sorry you are getting confused about what it is the Regulations apply to.

there are two threads of conversation - the smaller one is about which earthing system you can connect to. I have pinched the typed up version of the reg but the answer is it has to be the same earthing system as the installation containing the protective device
"542.1.3.3 [...]if the protective conductor forms part of a cable, the protective conductor shall be earthed only in the installation containing the associated protective device."

but the argument is not about earthing the protective conductor, is it? it's about earthing the armour when said armour is not used as cpc.there are two threads of conversation - the smaller one is about which earthing system you can connect to.

What installer?So if this is true and the installation does not comply with EAWR, how does the installer comply with HASAWA Reg 3?
