Bonding SWA armour wires

Well the first thing is the missing SWA.

You normally make off the gland before fitting it to the CU.

Although some does appear on the video at 9.02

I do not use them unless I have to.

I have proper nuts and bolts.

Going to make rotating the gland to cut through the paint tricky!

How much time does cleaning off a bit of paint take anyway?

I think the only reason there is a banjo being used on this one is I only had three Piranha nuts left, and 4 cables :-)

Why do you even need to remove the paint?

The CU box is earthed to the earth busbar and the banjo is also earthed to the busbar by the flylead.

And you never loosely fit the nut and bolt to stop the banjo spinning and then take it out again to fit the flylead.

Two reasons.

1. It's doing a job twice
2. If the banjo has moved then the nut will probably not come out

And just to point out that that RCD main switch can be lifted off the din rail and moved out the way to give a better working space in about 3 seconds.

We charge £33 per hour. That's 55 pence per minute.

So it would have to save 4 minutes.
