I understand what you mean by extending the SWA cores via conduit to the switch. Just to confirm: the SWA earth can be wired to back box OR directly to the Wiska earthing clamp bar, as long as a separate earth core runs from the same clamp bar to the back box (to avoid having 4 wires through...

I don't seem to find the "good advice" in the above text. I will leave it at that, because I can see what I'm dealing with.

Have a cuppa, relax and try to enjoy the view from your care home window. I think that all the people who replied, and are actually in possession of something you might be lacking but are not aware of, namely "common sense", understood what I meant and responded accordingly. Sarcasm is not...

Hey PBC, coming back to you....!! I might be using your suggestion as above. Am I correct in the following: from the living room double socket (feed), earth the Grid Mounting Frame. From the Grid frame, a single 2.5mm earth core to the Wiska weatherproof junction box at the earthing clamp bar...

Thank you Kai, but as Taylor indicated, far back in time: With my novice domestic electrics knowledge, despite my above "hint", I think I do understand what Kai means, which is still not good enough for me, to start messing about with professional electrics. (by the way...., I have installed...

Cool, Thank you John. Kind regards back Dino

do you mean the grey covering surrounding the 3 cores with their individual colored covering?

...scrolled again through the suggestions and yes, I think I will feed the cores through the bare wall, it can't be that hard. but i will double check the "condition" of the core protection (seathing) before doing so and will indeed use conduit if necesary

Thank you EFLI for setting a new discussion off :p(y), I must say a very good idea, I like it very much. Though........ ....which in my, non native English speaker case, raises the question: Do you mean, starting from the Wiska box feed the 3 SWA cores through the wall, plus an extra earth core...

.....I suppose i go for "external" glands, and again the question: where is the difference apart from the term external and internal? One is shorter than the other but ultimately they look the same, doing the same "job". Taylor, I can see that the glands are supplied with "earth tags" the...

Thank you freddo, option is registered and saved in my hard drive for further investigation (y) PBC, you've made it again:)(y), excellent, that's why I suppose you are an electrician(?); my only "objection" would be: the little piece of T&E coming out of the wall and into the weatherproof...

dry lining (plasterboard) flush wall box Brilliant advice and I understand exactly what you mean PBC, that complies 100% with my needs, thank you! My issue is the budget, which is quite limited. So I think I will stick with the A45 FCU option, the switch is really hard to operate! But I will...

Advice arrived and gratefully accepted Taylortwocities, thank you all again, your advice is of great importance and very much appreciated!!! Have a pleasant day Kind regards Dino

.......plus the yellow "Electric cable below" tape above the cable and below the soil

Thank you all for your patience; so, finally: a) From the living room socket, into a 13amp unswitched FCU, into a 45A switch(47mm deep, to wire the SWA easier). (n):?: b) From the A45 switch, wire SWA cable, through the wall, outside; SWA attached on the outside wall with clips, then down in...

........., EFLImpudence: so armoured cable it is!! I was aware of buried cable (should) needs to be armoured, but the info on the link PBC's send, is a bit confusing: "Indoor use where mechanical damages are not to be expected. Outdoors, Underground, in Brickwork, Concrete with the exception...

Alrighty guys, i wasn't complaining about it:whistle:, okay okay i get it:p. Right, so no problem with the 45 Amp FCU; and do i understand correctly PBC_1966, that the cable, reading the info on the link, is suitable for underground installation, so practically i won't need the armored one...

Hi PBC_1966 and thank you for your reply! I am not an expert, but i'm not sure if US rules are the same as UK(?), unless i get an expert's view from the UK, my "question" is unanswered and this is not offensive meant!!! ...i understand what you mean but i wouldn't have thought that the cable...

.....I mean Amp of course

One last thing aboput the FCU, i hope...., does it matter if it is 45A? As far as i understand it is "just" a switch! The reason for me asking is, the 45A has a switch that requires a good amount of force to switch on/off whereas the 13A can be switched on/off by the press of a finger. The...
