I am replacing an existing old bell box with a Reson 8 bell box 8EP420. My alarm panel is a Optima G4. They are connected via a 4 core cable.
The existing panel wiring is as follows:
Panel Bell box
Strobe+ (no connection)
A link between T and A

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...
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...
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...
hey,
ive been asked to work out a cable size for someone and not sure on the sizing for the amps. the information received is that its to be armoured, 4 core and the distance is 175m and needs to carry 400amps. is there a cable big enough or will they have to run two in parallel.
thanks

Hi,
Just carried out a job today and it's been playing on my mind ever since. Basically I installed a 5 pin TPN socket to supply a compressor. The compressor load is 7.5kw, star delta starter. I decided to go for plug and socket arrangement because the board is close to full capacity and they...
I was in a pub cellar yesterday and like most it's wired like *****, like the rest of the building. But one thing I noticed was three single phase breakers supplying three 63A single phase rcd iso's. It was done in a 4 core SWA so yep u guessed it the forth core was a shared neutral for the...
Hi their just a quick one really need someone to confirm what im thinking . Doing a job for my company which involves supplying a new building situated 200m away from the switch room. it was specked to install x2 185mm2 swa's + 50mm2 seperate earth burried in a trench connected in parallel into...
Just a quicky,
Lighting circuit supplied by 4 core swa has become overloaded.
Would there be anything wrong with splitting into 2 circuits and using the 4 cores for L and N and the steel armour for earth for both? all conductors would be identified with sleeving.
Otherwise new cable needs...
Hi guys
SWA feeding outside lighting and socket outlets etc.
Set up like this:
Single phase.
L & N T&E out of MCB in main board to feed sperate enclosure with only an RCD module in. So L&N feeding an RCD.
Then, 4 core SWA is glanded to this board.
2 of the cores (L/N) connect...
