Cpc connection wylex

[Nigel sparks]

Hello can anyone advise what they would do in this situation please. I have a wylex 100amp switch fuse that has an incoming and out going cpc connection which takes up to a 16 mm cpc. I have 16mm incoming and outgoing cpc, however how do I then earth the enclosure and the banjo as the cpc connection has no connection with the enclosure

That is unbelievable.

Well it will solve the problem but they cost about £5 each

That is unbelievable! Wylex used to be good quality gear, having said that most of the big names seem to be going the same way these days!
I am not a fan of adding needless extra connections as it just adds more potential failure points!
I would still be crimping onto a banjo or earth nut imho!

Why would you fit an earth terminal in a 100A isolator which only takes a 6.0 conductor, as they say on YouTube epic fail.

It doesn't, it takes 3x 16mm2.

That said, 25mm2 would be better, for when you run 25mm2 SWA.

Yes Matt you are right it does take 3x 16mm2

Surprising, it does not look big enough for that.

So that three way terminal on the back box takes 3 × 16.0?

I haven’t tried yet but I have been told they are

It may not look like it, but it 100% does take 16mm2
