Replacing 15 year old FAR Italian manifolds (2 downstairs, 1 up) with new Warmup units. However, old actuators have 4 core and new only have 2 core. Can someone please explain what the additional 2 cores are used for in the old actuators and how to modify the wiring for the new, and perhaps if...
I went to look at a job today and the client has two 16amp commandos installed but they are both wired in the same 4 core SWA through two 16a MCBs and the CPC for both is the armouring of the SWA. The two cores go to one commando and the other two go to the other commando(only about 5m away)...
Any ideas how to bend 70mm swa cable round a corner brick wall.
It’s gotta look good,cable not yet ready to cleat,but looking at the route the only problem I see is this corner,especially with the radius bend-of the cable,just wondering how you guys would overcome it.
Hello fellow sparks, I have a 400 metre drum of swa xlpe 4 core x 6mm cable I need to install 8 x 230 volt x 45 amp supplies to storage units distance from DB of 40 metres down to 35 metres. I propose to pair up the cores within each cable giving me 8 x runs of 2 core 12mm cable colour sleeved...
Hi Gents,
Have an existing circuit at a warehouse where a single 4mm 4core SWA has been used as a Ring Final Circuit. Two cores are in connectors in the back of the socket outlets thus creating a ring. The SWA is therefore the sole means of earthing. There are No banjo's at the sockets and the...
Came across a 2.5mm fp200 4 core cable used as part of a ring today, am I right in thinking this isn't an acceptable method as there will be only 1 earth wire in the cable ??
A mate is clearing out his garage and asked me if I wanted 30 + metres of 10mm 4 core SWA on a wooden spool.
LOL I don't know if I'm looking a gift horse in the mouth, or being a donkey carting 5 quids worth of scrap.
Could I use it to power my shed ?
1. By just terminating one of the cores...
Hi all,
Company I work for have moved into a new factory and asked me to wire up the work benches, properly this time as before they just used a selection of extension leads dragged across the floor.
Anyway. On the wall there is a 4 core 6mm SWA cable terminated into a rotary isolator fed...
Hi folks, I'm recently qualified so be nice...
I'm preparing a quote for the wiring of a dozen up and over garages which are in two rows of 6 and face each other with an 11m gap. One double socket per garage and fcu for a single 1500 fluorescent fitting. I was planning to wire them all as one...
just wondering what other people think of wiring leg out to a ring in a single swa 4core 2.5 using the armoring as the earth?
its about 10 mtrs from the board and wouldnt have massive loading on the end.
i know that using 2 seperate pieces is best but i have a piece of 4 core long enough...
Which code would be considered appropriate for a ring circuit protected by a 30A rewireable fuse wired in 4 core 1.5mm2 MICC cable installed to method C. Circuit consists of 12 double sockets serving a large chapel area in a church dating to approx 60 years. I have put a code 2 for...

Hi all,
I commissioned the renewal of some mains intake equipment at a building that involved a full shut down. The building runs 24/7 and so a shut down is a VERY rare event. Upon completion of the works the contractor informed me that the 95mm 4 core cable feeding the building was being...
