Where abouts in the country did you have dinner with him?

Why?

A dining room perhaps

I was going for ....a Restaurant, could have been Maccy D's. But I do know snakey has some standards

I think electrically and mechanically sound are the key points some people seem to be overlooking.

Neither aesthetics or ergonomics come in to it, functionality and practicality are far more important.

Having no experience of various types of cable terminations precludes the right to call the expertise of others in to question.

It was only a Brewers Fayre, but not bad.

Adjacent to the hotel.

I turned down a freebie, to have a meeting with John, and a couple of others as it turned out & pay!

isn't he stroma's version of Tony Cable? :lol:

He probably wouldn't like that...

That I would say is a very astute observation BD!

There will be those who get that and those who don't.

Some bloke called "John Peckham" says...

The use of bonding clamps as an alternative to glands.BS951 bonding clamps are designed for clamping on to solid pipes. The force required to make a reliable tight joint on to a SWA cable would effectively deform the cable and may loosen over time due the continued deformation of the cable. The insertion of a piece of copper water pipe under the armour to prevent deformation is bad practice as the SWA armour is galvanised steel which may react with the dissimilar metal copper insert. The use of Jubilee clips to terminate the armour is an absolute bodge (see Regulation 134.1.1)

john..

I would suggest you read it first.

I did, it says; "proper materials shall be used in the erection of the electrical installation"

Jubilee clips were not designed as electrical equipment, they are hose clips... Mr Peckham obviously shares this opinion or he would not have made his comment above.

Astute indeed Mr sidewinder.

I do believe though that like yourself Mr Peckham is one of the leading lights in the electrical industry that is trying to drag us out of dark times.

Oh dear.

 

[kerching]

Oh bollocks!

 

[Sharpend]

Oh, what's occurring?

Explain this termination kit?

It doesn’t matter what you or Mr Peckham think, it is a standard and accepted method of termination.

Yes....but that is relevant to,the type of termination we use in THIS country being applied to,the type of cable we use in THIS country!

Why muddy the waters with something that is relevant...it will,only confuse
