Burried SWA for a log cabin

[Gringoking88]

Hi all,

Hope someone can give me clarity around the need to bury an SWA cable please.

I've been asked to install an 4mm SWA from the main DB to a "to be built log cabin" at the end of the garden about 50m away, it will need to run along a fence for most the route (or underground).

I called NICEIC to clarify and they advised I cant clip it to the fence incase it falls down, cant leave it on the surface due to rodents and have to bury it for the entire length. My question is reg 522.8.10 says "burried cables shall be buried to a sufficient depth to avoid being damaged...." what do you guys call a sufficient depth and whats your thoughts about rodents chewing through SWA armour???

Basically what do you guys do in these cases??...

Many thanks,

M

Oh, maybe they've relaxed the rules a bit. They told me I couldn't register as an AC as a sole trader a few years ago.

Just about every rule seems to have been relaxed over the last few years. Every rule, with the exception of having to pay annual subs to the CPS
