[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 220192, member: 1408"] Normally SWA is glanded at both ends but in your case I imagine that is not possible . Armour needs to be earthed at one end at least. Lamposts to be wired in SWA need a control gear section at the base but if they don't they are best wired in split concentric . Trouble with the open armour wires is they will subject to corrosion , although you say there is an earth conductor in the cable. Could you not gland the cable off into a galvo through box and lose it inside the post and come out of it with flex.?
