School block Swa supply

[cliffed]

What code would you give for a Swa supply 3p/N,95mm.
Supplies remote school block,2 storey,no main earth conductor,using sheath,the main earth bonding originates from this Swa,for this block,@ Main Panel board,& is 16 mm
The main earth @ origin is 120mm,Main bonding 50mm.
Cheers

What do you mean no main earth conductor?
You’ve just stated earthing conductor is 120mm
Using the armour for a cpc is acceptable if sized correctly.
What is the earthing arrangement?
Using the armour as a combined cpc/bonding conductor could be acceptable if say it’s TNS

Swa ,sheath used for main earth,the 120 mm Earth is at the origin intake of the school,this Swa is a sub main,to a remote block.
Tncs is the earthing system,185 mm Tails,120 mm Main Earth,50 mm earth bond.

Sheath is not the main earth, it is a cpc. I assume you are doing an EICR so you should know how to Code. What is your opinion.

 

[cliffed]

Correct a cpc,my opinion is a code 2.
A main earth should have been installed with this Swa,to provide an adequate earth,& Main earth bonding.

Your opinion is flawed unless inspection and testing revel otherwise.
Have you carried out the appropriate inspection and testing to verify that the current set up is potentially dangerous?

Again it’s a CPC not a MAIN earth

What is the earth arrangement?
Does the distribution circuit have adequate fault protection by ADS for its respective ocpd?

TN-C-S.

Yea it’s a cpc the Swa is being used for Main Earth @ the Main Panel in the block.
It’s also being used for the Main earth bonding conductor.
The situation is not potentially dangerous,what are you going on about my opinion is flawed,
The earthing is Pme Tncs.

Ha ha,someone’s got it

I mean you can’t go on opinion, only by proof that it is potentially dangerous
