Dave I can’t thank you enough that’s been bothering me. I’m here to learn and was starting to feel like an ldiot. I’m not educated like y’all I had to quit school in the 9th grade to get a job to help my mom since I didn’t have a dad. I am not the best electrician out there but I’m not the worst either. I’m sorry if I made you mad. Please don’t have no hard feelings I don’t want to be kicked off this forum. It seems like I cause more trouble than anybody
putting it simply, there are 3 commonly used earthing systems over here.

1. TT. this is where earth rod/s are installed at each installation. this is the responsibility of the home owner to employ an electrician to install.

2. TN-S. here the incoming cable is lead sheathed and buried underground. a sweated or clamped connection is made at the customer's property, by the network operator (who is responsible for the earthing arrangement up to this point). electrician then connects the installation earth to this. the lead sheath of the cable is then the earth. not used on new installations as current supply cables are not metallic sheathed.

3. TNC-S. here the neutral is connected to the installation earth, again by the network operator. the supply cable has the N spiked into ground at intervals.

"The Ferrari F1 team fired their entire pit crew yesterday."This announcement followed Ferrari's decision to take advantage of the British government's 'Work for your Dole' scheme and employ some Scouse youngsters.

The decision to hire them was brought about by a recent TV documentary on how unemployed youths from Toxteth were able to remove a set of wheels in less than 6 seconds without specialist equipment, whereas Ferrari's existing crew could only manage it in 8 seconds with millions of pounds worth of high tech gear.

It was thought to be an excellent, bold move by the Ferrari management team, as most races are won and lost in the pits, thus giving Ferrari a massive advantage over every other team.

The scouse lads were brilliant at their home practice sessions, however, Ferrari got more than they bargained for! At the crew's first real race practice session at Le Mans, not only was the scouse pit crew able to change all four wheels in under 6 seconds but, within 12 seconds, they had re-sprayed, re-badged and sold the car to the McLaren team for 8 cases of Stella, a bag of ganja and some photos of Lewis Hamilton's bird in the shower.

Only the N side of the lamp would be at 0v if you went further along the element the voltage would rise.
