Swa sheath size too small

[chris day]

an outbuilding is supplied by a 50mm twin SWA cable from a PME supply

The assessor has told me to convert to a TT as the steel csa is too small, is there a way I can prove that surely a 50mm twin swa sheath is suitable to be a 16mm earth?

table 54.4

Is it supporting main protective bonding, if yes then it is inadequate.

Hi - looking in GN8 tables B 1, 2 or 3 it has 50mm swa with steel of 68 (2 core), 78 (3 core) or 90 (4 core). For bonding it's the ratio of resistivity which is about 8. This means the steel armour is worth about 8.5, 9.75 or 11.25 mm2 of copper. The incoming DNO neutral may be bigger than 50, but even 50 needs 16mm (Table 54.8).
