Hello people

Correct me if iam wrong but soon as a screened cable enters a panel it should be striped back to about

the point of entry, then screen should be sleaved to an earth terminal (only when the screen is in use)

Also out of interest does a screen have to be sleaved in (Earth sleaving) as its not actually an earth?

What would NACOSS say?

Good practice to sleave the screen to prevent accidental short circuits

I've done both, kept the jacket on the cable up to the panel's earth point, then connect, or strip the whole lot back, then sleeve the drain wire, keeping it long, and connect to earth then.

It is a wise idea in that case to sleeve to avoid shorts like stated.

I agree to sleeve, but it is a functional earth, not a protective earth, so should be sleeved cream.
