Hi all, I am running 6mm 3 core SWA to my garage and am looking at options to hook it up to the main CU in the house.
I was thinking it would be easier to take the SWA via a gland into an external weatherproof junction box and terminate just the armoured portion there (running a suitable earth cable to the junction box to earth the armour) and then take just the internal cable to the CU in the house. This should make manuevering the cable inside a bit simpler. What are peoples thoughts on this? I am thinking this is preferable to terminating the SWA inside the junction box completely and using T&E to the CU from there?
Thanks!
