I really do miss working with SWA. Never thought I'd say that after running 1500m of it with 80 glands but after using the north American equivalent (teck 90) I do. Teck 90 has an earth conductor inside it and the aluminium armour which is segmented making it less flexible than swa isn't considered rated for cpc but still needs bonded. Add in the fact they have 120v/208v here which means two live conductors and a neutral making the wire even bulkier.

I'm not in an assocusted trade.. I'm wiring my shed up with SWA and whilst I had a good idea of how to deal with SWA it's good practice for me to see how it's done properly. My SWA terminates at an isolator in the house which will be wired to a 32amp feed.. and terminates the other end in my shed in an RCD unit. I'm not paying Β£1000 for an electrician to do exactly what you've just demonstrated. So thank you.. you've saved me a Bob or two ;)

We wanted to gland a 3 core 185mmΒ² SWA cable. According to the chart, gland size 50 was suitable. As it turned out, 50 sized gland was small, and we had to purchase size 63 gland at the last moment. Therefore, with experience I say, don't blindly follow the chart. Purchase one size bigger along with the original chart suggested size.

I wished we could all strip armoured like that lol. My on-site experience of armoured is much different. Generally been sitting around for a bit and damp sets in.

@@GSHElectrical Thasnks for the reply Read this on a MyBuilder post "For a 40amp supply a 6mm or 10mm SWA cable would be required. If the incoming house supply is PME (TNCS) then a 2core SWA cable should be used with a local earth electrode driven into the ground at the garage end making the garage submain a TT supply. If the incoming house supply is TNS, then the earth can be exported and a 3core SWA would be preferable with the third core used as the CPC and cross bonded to the outer steel wire armouring.".

How about terminating a 70mm armoured into an already installed waterproof gland (including working out the set). A 70mm armoured that's taken 4 blokes 2 nightshifts to pull in - No pressure! This is quite tricky and can be a bit nerve-racking if you've not done it before.

How about a 300mm 4 core using E1W glands not these CW glands, I hate them always looks a messy job until the sleeve goes on. I much prefer the separate cone and olive, then you can open the gland and inspect it without disturbing the compression of the steel wire armouring.

Gaz - Can I ask a simple question - why do you have so much armour showing beneath the gland nut - just watched JW's very good video on this and his termination of the gland looked so much neater with zero armour showing once the gland had been assembled. Is this down to differences in technique or a completely different style of SWA gland?
