What the hell is one of those?

Do you earth all your metal cookwear?!

 

[mogga]

fryingpan,banjo,earth tag depends what you call it

 

[pevvers]

I was only kidding of course... Never heard it called a frying pan before, but I think banjo is a pretty terrible thing to call them as well as they don't look like any banjo I've ever seen!

Hi AA410

You could use an earthing nut from SWA, this would allow you to go direct into the plastic and take a flying lead off the nut without the need for a frying pan.

How would you deal with 25mm SWA tho?

 

[malcolmsanford]

Bigger metal adaptable box something like a 6x6x9

 

[nickblake]

25mm galve through box with an adaptor on and take it straight into the cdu having said that it depends on how many cores it has if its three phase then as malcom has said
