swa (csa of armour)?

[MDB]

Hi can anyone tell me.... If you use say a 2 core 6mm swa cable and intend on using the armour as the cpc, then what will the csa be? Do they differ from manufacturer? Is there a general rule? Is it as easy as say 6mm l and n cores and steel csa is 6mm? Table i1 in osg doesn't mention swa.... Thanks

Also guidance note 1 Appendix 1 Table D9 has figures for 1.5mm thro 400mm, 2core, 3core & 4 core SWA. The OSG only has very limited guidance.

Speed is of little importance. Much better to have multiple validation of an answer from various sources. It all helps to broaden knowledge which can only be good for our industry.
