I am not having SWA cables being terminated by a jubilee clip as OK. Dog poo of a termination IMO.But then that will only be the instructions for that manufacturers cable,,, not all cables of that type

I may not disagree with you there. It is not always easy on the fly to try and prove something that you are sure is correct but cannot back it up. I will keep searching however.All I'm saying is that your arguments are extremely flawed
While you’re looking;No you are right. I need to find the cable requirements. By hook or by crook I will find one.
I know it is not the same, but I am pretty sure that when i watched the DNO doing LV joints that they used jubilee clips to hold on the bit of wire that links the lead sheath on PILC to maintain earth continuity.
Having said that, if i was installing an accessory that required the use of a jubilee clip, then i would be getting a different type of accessory.. Must look rough as hell.
Are the jubilee clips approved to any british standard for use as earth terminations?? I always thought that 7671 said we had to use stuff that was approved to BS or equivalent?? A jubilee clip might be approved under BS for holding on radiator hoses, but i doubt that counts!!!!!
Still BS951 clamps are not approved for use on PILC either, never bothered the DNO's though when they were fitting them. [Yes, I know that they have exempted themselves from the rules]
john..
It will simply say termination into a suitable gland, it is down to the gland MI's and the gland to state it it suitable.
Essex1 is now trying to show that pretty much the whole of the street lighting industry in the UK is non-compliant with BS7671, when it has had to be for a very long time, and he has not even worked on this equipment, and is not even familiar with the relevant sections in BS7671 which is patently obvious from his previous posts.
I am guessing the next thing will be no TN-C-S to street furniture, or no split or straight con to street furniture, regardless.
just because you dont like it doesnt mean its wrong. i dont like some other people wiring methods either, but providing its compliant then so be itI am not having SWA cables being terminated by a jubilee clip as OK. Dog poo of a termination IMO.
Not on their own but with suitable armouring support they meet manufactures specification and therefore conformity.I know it is not the same, but I am pretty sure that when i watched the DNO doing LV joints that they used jubilee clips to hold on the bit of wire that links the lead sheath on PILC to maintain earth continuity.

I Have never been impressed with Jubilee Clips, never really been impressed with CF springs.....BUT, if that is what comes with the kit then that is what I Use!Not on their own but with suitable armouring support they meet manufactures specification and therefore conformity.
DNO’s use Hepworth clamps or constant force springs on PILC, both with a flexible braid to the MET.
Or use this equipment and terminate the SWA cable properly.used split con a lot when i was working on street lighting. i guess i must have been doing that wrong too. and a lot were TNCS

that lucy cutout is designed for flex / split con type cable to be pushed through the seal which is cut to correct size. it does not have a suitable plate to gland a SWA to. id like to see you put a proper SWA gland into one of those though, there is your challengeOr use this equipment and terminate the SWA cable properly.
Now I do, the resident know nothing milkman.I don’t know who “de-scoobed” Andy’s post but I’ve put it right.
No. You can order any size plate as a separate part to suit separate size SWA cables. Just done 55 of them at Basingstoke. The cone grommets remove and leave you a nice hole sized to suit SWA.that lucy cutout is designed for flex / split con type cable to be pushed through the seal which is cut to correct size. it does not have a suitable plate to gland a SWA to. id like to see you put a proper SWA gland into one of those though, there is your challenge
