Hi guys new to the forum after bit of advice. My family are installing a new shed in the garden and require a lot of power ie few sockets, lights. I am planning of running a swa fed from 32a mcb from the main board to a sub board.
Have a question-
Shall I install the new 32a mcb in the main board on the RCD side or main switch side?
Thanks
 
Because it is in the HOUSE and running through the fabric of the HOUSE and in the HOUSE equipotential zone...because it’s an extraneous conductive part.....and not with a strap but with an SWA gland 134.1.1

Look you clearly don't seem to realise [or care] that there are many well qualified,highly experienced and dedicated professional electricians on this forum. Nowhere has it been suggested using a strap instead of an SWA gland, although this was common practice for many years and I'd imagine considered acceptable at one time. Of course the armour must be connected to earth, you do realise that we're talking about situations where a seperate CPC is used within the cable ? But I still say that it doesn't state anywhere that the armouring MUST be earthed at the supply end. I've had enough of this nonsense now and won't post any more on this thread.
 
Anyway where is this place we are exporting things to? Will we be able to export them when we leave the EU? Arghhhhhh..........
Or did you mean extending??

An extraneous conductive part in a house doesn’t need bonding to earth.......kind of invalidated most of your last and final comment.
 
I'll have to reply again, what I'm saying is it CAN be connected to earth at the far end - as long as it's connected. You're clearly less intelligent than you think you are.

That would make it ‘earthed’ yes.
But then you have an extraneous conductive part in the house that’s not at the same potential as the house. How intelligent does that make you feel?
 
What’s your area code?
No idea.
My IEE membership card does not have an area code.
If the IET membership card they sent me does, I don’t know, I have just looked in the wallet I use to keep old and unused cards, although it contains my blockbusters card, ITS discount card, walkabout discount card and some others, the IET card is not in there.
