Size of earthing lead for 10mm 3 core SWA

[Luka]

I am installing 3 core SWA using a piranha nut. What size of earthing lead to connect the piranha nut to earth terminal do I need? Does it also need to be 10mm or I can get away with 6mm?

6.0mm² will be fine.

6.0mm² will be fine.

Thank you. Can I just use live or neutral wire from 6mm twin and earth if I mark it as CPC?

Yes but it looks a bit unprofessional.

Yes but it looks a bit unprofessional.

Thank you. I do appreciate it does not look too good but this is only a temporary measure and safety is the only concern that I have at present

Hi Westward,

Do you have a link or access to a table showing recommendations for this?

No table I just know the conductivity of the armour is around 4.0mm² copper equivalent so 6.0mm² will be fine.
