Bending 6mm swa

[Andypease1]

Hi

Am using 6mm swa for a supply to my garage and need to go round some sharp corners. Only have about 100mm of gravel strip between wall and fixing pavings. Will this cable bend to a shallow right and left without damage?

Cheers Andy

Look up the cable manufacturers specifications for the cable you have bought. Any decent manufacturer will specify the "minimum bend radius".

e.g. Batt cables...

You could do an S-shaped bend on the corner if you can tolerate a change in height.

What does "Only have about 100mm of gravel strip between wall and fixing pavings" mean? I can't visualise at all what that means wrt having to bend a cable.
