[QUOTE="malcolmchisholm, post: 220187, member: 15102"] I have come across a cast iron lamp post fed by SWA up through the middle of the post to the top. I have connected the steel armouring to earth (it was not previously connected) back to the DB. At present, the armouring is not connected to the post, but the cpc is crudely terminated to a screw on the post. Does the armour have to be connected to the post as well as the cpc? If so, is there a small gland or other device that can be used to connect the armouring to a wire to terminate on the earthing screw o the lamp post? Many thanks, Malcolm Chisholm [/QUOTE]
