[QUOTE="DonkeyDong, post: 11606, member: 156"] Hi there, nothing wrong at all in using plastic enclosures with SWA - as long as the enclosure is mechanically suitable (strong enough) and you correctly terminate/earth the armour if required - using the earth tags (fry pan as someone called it on here :^O ) I had to make off 38 terminations the other day - luckily in 2.5mm 3 core. Some of them were into pladtic enclosures, they others into steel. Even though not always needed, I always use tags with a trailing earth lead. D. ps - Its perfectly acceptable to use the armour as a CPC - as long as it meets the requirements for that circuit (I now use a core and the armour as the CPC, unless there is a substantial cost difference).
