all ends of SWA have to be glanded! why on earth would you not want to? believe or not mate but glanding an armoured keeps the steel wire armour in a uniform mechanical state! under twisted compression if you like!17 Apr 2008
Does SWA need to be glanded both ends?
Glands should always be fitted at both ends to correctly terminate the cable into the enclosure, if the armour isnt being used as the cpc then an earth banjo at the supplly end will do.24 Aug 2006
Should Armoured cable be earthed?
The armour does provide some mechanical protection and it is important that the armour is earthed so that if the cable were penetrated (e.g. by a garden fork), the supply would automatically be disconnected by the protective device under this fault condition.2 May 2019
