Hi All

Re: Armoured cable
Hi. bernard
Where the cpc or circuit protective conductor (earth) is formed by conduit,trunking,ducting ,or by the metal sheath and or armour of cable ,the earthing terminal of each accessory shall be connected by a seperate protective conductor to an earthing terminal incorporated in the associated box or enclosure.
In other words continue the earth continuity of the armour with a banjo washer and seperate cpc to the earthing terminal.
Hope this helps.

Re: Armoured cable
Hi Mark,
Don't you guys use the XLPE green cables double insulation?
I have seen those armoured cables when looking at nice instelation of two cassettes done by Abe.
These are what we call flaxiable cables and only use them for short connections.
Supply is by the green XLPE cables with one copper conductor.
