We have been looking into providing better earth continuity at installations, we believe that the existing method using the armouring is no longer sufficient and can lead to high readings therefore a separate 10mm earth conductor should be used from each pole. There are two options either build this into the existing cable or install a separate armoured cable containing earth only. Our problem is that this is a non standard cable and would have to be purchased in significant quantities 5,000 metres at a go, we are finding it hard to convince our suppliers that they could offer this cable to others and we are also reluctant to make the purchase ourselves. My question is A Does anybody else agree that it is a good idea (if enough took it up it could become standard instead of special). B Does anybody currently use this type of cable already and if they do who makes it. C Has anybody got a better idea Norman Probert Senior Engineer Traffic Control Systems Tel 01905-766822 Email nprobert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:nprobert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ********************************************************************** Privileged/Confidential information and/or Copyright Material may be contained in this email.
