    SWA Gland (correct termination of)

    Topic of much debate... Is there reasons to fit the earth tag on the inside of the metal enclosure? The one about preventing corrosion does not wash with me as the enclosure is not IP68 rated thus cannot protect from corrosion inside. I have always been taught to fit brass tag on the outside...
