sub tails

[Scornio]

Was going to move my fuse board in my house by 11m was going to use split con but someone recently told me its frowned upon, so was thinking tails but can be a pain in arse over 11m.... Does anyone know of other cabling ideas apart from SWA as I don't want all the making off to do. Or shall I just stick with tails?

 

[Scornio]

Not really a sub, will be my main CU

You will need to fit a fused isolator at the origin, whatever recognised method you choose after that is your choice as long as its suitable for the environment, whats the problem with - swa??? your going to have a limited career if you avoid it all the time.

As darkwood says. Surely it doesn't take that long to make off SWA?

 

[Scornio]

Yeh I know isolator at origin for over 3m...
I was just seeing if there might have been some other cable that I've not heard of that might be new or something. SWA within my home is a bit ott with all the extra bits and bobs and the making off I can't be doing that.
Saying that thinking about it ill then have to support the tails away from ceiling which could be more fiddly hmmm maybe swa.

What about split-concentric cable? I'm told its smaller and easier to work re bending etc with than SWA.

 

[Scornio]

I went for
Swa in the end and a metal clad fused isolation switch.

I don't know, making off 2 glands is a bit of a task you know:laugh:

SWA was scheduled for week 5, but they dropped it for 'how to fill-in PAT stickers'.

It can take time if it's heavy.

oh I thought you said make OFF with SWA. Sorry.

 

[richy3333]

What about a radio link to save on the cable?

By showing the scorn you feel, is that how you chose your moniker?

 

[Scornio]

I don't know what your saying...

However it was first thing in the morning, I half expected someone to come back at me, there's plenty of you.
Regards to the thread- it was merely a question trying to ascertain whether there was an ulterior cable that people might be using apposed to the norm.
SWA isn't just the making off of the glands, it can be bulkier to handle. Tho fair enough just 2 isn't that difficult but it's the financial implications also.
