So much for using armoured cable for the outdoor cable run then!
So the SWA is not earthed.The CU end of the SWA has been glanded - but with a stuffing gland:
Now I've received the pictures, I cannot identify what the 'allegedly SWA' cable really is - can anyone identify it from the image below?

Sorry Midwest never used or seen it as far as I know.What if it is NYY-J cable.
We've now firmly established that the conductors are 2.5 sqmm. The spec is not embossed on the cable jacket where we'd expect to find it, but each of the 7 strands of copper in each of the 3 cores is around 0.7 mm in diameter, so πr² X 7 gives us 2.5 sqmm

Just been looking at this thread again, and have to ask why would your Brother stipulate SWA?The job hasn't been signed off or certified yet. Anyway, I'm advising that my brother shouldn't accept this work.
The contractor was going to do the external run in T&E until my brother (a civil engineer by profession) insisted that SWA be used.

Civil Engineer=groundworker they are used to installing SWA for the electrical contractor so I suppose he knows it by default as outdoor cable.Just been looking at this thread again, and have to ask why would your Brother stipulate SWA?

and i got a "bad spelling" for that by a member who's posted less than 30 times in 8 years. hmmm.looks like SWA as Andy says, with the bedding exposed, going to the isolator,and some stripped out inner from isolator to CCU. whatever it is, it's a complete abortion and needs ripping out.
Consider it a badge of honour. They should bring back Teletext.been called some names in the past, but never Teletext. finger hovering over the "dumb" button.
