  • Our sparky has put some armoured cable behind a new wall.

    Why is the sparks using armoured cable? Is this inside the house?

    You need to protect cable runs with metal or RCCB's under Regs. Using armoured cable for lighting circuits is well over the top.

    Armoured cable is for high impact industrial areas or buried cable outside.

  • I don't think anyone would want to advise you just in case. If you know how the cable is earthed and you have proper testing equipment to make sure there is no power then it would be a bad idea to put some wagos on the ends of the cables. Your sparks must have terminated it though? It's not just live lying on the ground and if it's not live it's no use or danger to you.

  • Is it to a shed or 'new WFH office'?

    You should have the armoured feed terminated into a separate fuse board. Then run into a lighting circuit with proper discrimination and earthing.
