Hahaha...this came up sometime back, there is conductive plastic now!

Yes but it's eye wateringly expensive though Archy and I'm not so sure if they're putting it in conduit just yet

 

[davethsparky]

conduit or trunking as cpc i take it you were talking about metal and not plastic

You even have to ask? Jeezus!

The question was what do you think of it not what your experience is.

There was a period (and probably now) when firms ran an earth wire alongside the swa because they were ignorant and did not know that 99.9 + per cent of the time the armour complied.

There's a lot of that ignorance still about Mick.

What about silver coloured plastic conduit lololololol You know you can get it in any RAL colour............................ Sorry............... Normal service will resume!

I bet it is, but when it becomes cost effective, that'll be the death knell for steel conduit.

See this is why I don't normally post after visiting the fang farrier...trauma makes me talk nonsense (both mental and financial trauma.....the wallet is still in shock. I'm in the wrong business....get it wrong as a dentist...charge twice....must be the only career where you can get things wrong and still bill the client.....)
Revised plan - go along the lines of what dave suggested - shed is only staying temporarily till I can get the garage erected (10 or 12 feet x 20 feet) and its getting a 40amp supply in 6mm2 3 Core SWA (recovered from the catenary supply I had at the last house, still in perfect nick so getting reused) buried under the gravelled drying area.

only used white and black

It's not just the fact that the armour is good enough, there's the fact that fault current is unlikely to flow through the external cpc anyway due to the inductive coupling with the armour.

Especially amongst foreign untrained sparks.

If its made off by a PROPERLY trained sparks it will comply.
