[QUOTE="Phoenix, post: 555143, member: 8133"] No, only having one end earthed will result in higher loop impedance, which could in some edge cases make some overcurrent devices less likely to operate, if the fault itself has a significant resistance. (Thats a bit of an asside and not really revelant to your question) But not earthing the far end will not on its own cause the RCD to trip in damp wehether, however an inproperly terminated SWA in an enclosure which is letting in water will and often folk that don't properly gland armoureds often end up making unsuitable joints as well [/QUOTE]
