Connecting tails to SWA

[soulman]

Hi, any suggestions for connecting the tails from the metering equipment within the meter cabinet to armoured cable. (Domestic property). I have seen a clamp used before by a new house builder, but I have been unable to source one.

Cheers

I know I need to take stock sometimes with some of the pointless replies.

Seeing that you are The Muppet Police then you would arrest me if I didn't...

To the op I think I know what you mean tails go into a isolator and then the wires go into the bottom of it , but now the wires are not double insulated and are out in the open . The earth side is not as much problem

Huh?

Hi, yes, MickFred, that’s why I have asked for any suggestions. Pme earthing arrangement, & cables have to travel within the wall to the Cu. Customer will not have any form of trunking.

Can you fit an adaptable box big enough for a gland and DP henley block in there?

My suggestion was in post #4. No reply as yet.
I'm very good at taking thread off at a tangent..

Yes indeed the break out box is a possibility with a Henley maybe as per @ferg but getting those cables to behave in that confined space is something I would hate to take on. I assume we are talking 25mm².

If your swa is terminated into an external meter cabinet then you do not require your swa ‘tails’ to be double insulated when connecting to the DP isolator as the meter box is an enclosure, accessible with a key/tool only
