SWA - earthing the steel wire?

[Flanders]

The cable is for a socket is it not?

Then fit an rcd socket , the swa cable does not require rcd protection.

I'm sure the OP's stepson will tell him everything he needs to do.
Not sure why he's here, if his stepson will be signing off everything.
Maybe he's on holiday....

Seems like you're being hard headed, is your football team losing?
Every cable requires protection!
I'd stick the rcd in a dB for many reasons. If you want I could explain them.

Nothing wrong in @Flanders post. It's to the regs.

Most rcd socket can't be Ir tested. It's suboptimal at best. Outdoor socket no ability to Ir test = trouble brewing.

What I said about every cable requiring protection is true. He said the cable did not require rcd - very misleading

I misread or he edited his comment. I thought it said cable did not require protection. Not rcd protection

Yes there are good reasons for both and im not saying you are wrong . Some cases it may be cheaper to fit an rcd socket than fit rcbo , or there no room in the board to fit an rcd , the list go on , or it could be easier and cheaper to fit an rcbo in the board .I was just pointing out that a SWA cable does not require rcd protection , O and I don't follow the football ☺

I've posted why rcd socket is a bad idea. Feel free to disagree.
I apologise for being harsh on you. I'll make an effort to to be nicer

That what I'm saying i don't disagree you can put the rcd where you like ☺ Just read my post properly in the future ☺ps i did not edit it .

My post was only a little wrong, in that I misread one word. I said I would be nicer but still going to call a spade a spade. Your advice could have caused an accident your response to my calling it out was seriously suboptimal and not taking into account things a spark should.

Send me cake..

You can guess from the tone of the paragraph above the probability of a cake coming your way.

Can I have cake to go with my cut of tea?

"there no room in the board to fit an rcd"

Which manufacturers make mcb's that can't be switched out for rcbo?
This is a question not a jibe

…..and that's just another reason why giving out advice to those of ignorance, on an open forum, can help cause havoc.
