Hi all,
I had an electrician in recently to move my CU, to do so, three swa cables (garage, hot tub and summer house) needed to be extended to the new location.
To do so, he has made a junction using blocks inside a galvanised box.
The box was already there so the swa could be terminated before going into the old plastic CU so the glands on the right were already done.
He has chosen not to install glands on the left, and has instead taken the armour into a block as a means of termination. This block however does not appear to be terminated to the steel box, so no continuity between armour on either side of the box.
Is this an acceptable solution?
The same has been done with the armour in the CU too.
Ignore the colour mismatch on the top cable, this will be corrected shortly.
