Installing the SWA gland over a power cable

See the drawings on the next pages.
1. Cut the shroud to fit the cable. Slide it over the cable. Measure the cable length
that is required inside the drive. Mark the measured point with tape.
2. Cut the outer sheath around the cable at the tape halfway through the steel wire
armour with junior hacksaw. Peel off the sheath with electricians knife. Pick three
to four steel wires at a time and bend them back and forth to break and remove
them.
3. Slide the gland nut over the cable. Cut off 25 mm of the sheath with electricians
knife. Rotate the cable by hand to bend the steel wires so that the cone end of the
gland body will fit under.
4. - Slide the gland body under the steel wires. Make sure that the wires do not go
over the cone end of the gland body, or that they are long enough for the electric
bonding.
- Slide the gland nut onto the cone end of the gland body and hand tighten it. Hold
the gland body with a spanner and tighten the nut with the other spanner.
5. Put the earthing ring onto the gland body. Carefully, so as not to cut into the
conductors, cut the bedding with electricians knife and peel it off.
6. Put the cable through the hole in the gland plate. Slide the lock nut over the cable
onto the gland body. Hold the gland body with a spanner and tighten the lock nut
with the other spanner.
7. Attach the earthing ring to the gland plate with a screw and nut.
8. Fit the shroud over the gland.
