Hi people.
I was talking to one of the guys at work about taking a wire from the earth on the socket to the metal back box. I know this has been discussed before but I can't find it in a search or in the regs. (must be having an off day).
I remember reading in a thread that as long as the back box has a fixed lug then there is no need for a separate earth but most see it as 'good working practice' to add one.
Clarification is needed. Is a separate earth from the socket to the back box required?
