    Main armoured DNO cable in ceiling

    I’ve noticed my main incoming armoured DNO cable goes up the garage wall in some capping to the ceiling then runs under the ceiling and drops down to the meters. Is this ok as it’s armoured?

    How to add a sub board when existing DB is fed by an armoured?

    Hi, I have been tasked with a kitchen rewire. The current DB is fed by a 16mm armoured. There is a split load old contactum DB which I don’t fancy buying MCBs for. I have quoted to add a sub DB with RCBO to cover my new kitchen wiring. My question is how would you feed the new DB? Usually I...

    Armoured Cable Question.

    “The reason for condemning the supply to the oak building was because of the test reading it got, it was 371 ohms which made it non compliant" We need to understand in layman's terms.

    Depth to bury armoured cable in concrete with vehicles passing over?

    I will/may be burying 16mm SWA in concrete to route it to an outbuilding (for the kiln I have just been chatting about!). This will be getting driven over by cars. Is there an ideal depth for this? Also, does the SWA require any further form of protection?

    Outside armoured cable

    I need to run an outside armoured cable to a pond pump. I will install all the necessary protection devices. MY question is can the cable be laid loose on the ground between trees or attached to the trees. I dont really want to dig a trench all the way over a 40metre run. Thanks
