Is it permissable to terminate an armoured cable in / onto a plastic enclosure?
I understand the need for the wire shield to be earthed, and the need for continuity of earth, and the need for mechanical strength of the enclosure, but I want to put a switch disconnector in line joining 2 armoured cables, mounted on a wall, rather than a huge switch fuse box.
The alternative is a metal switch disconnect but as the amperage increases the prices multiply.
On the other end I want to put a 5 way CU and RCD, same question, plastic or metal?
Thanks
