    I have advanced co-operation with DNO Western Power to be precise

    So attended a house (one of many) and the earthing arrangements fall far short of what is needed. No bonding such as gas bond the cable is there hanging around in the air by the gas meter. 8.75 ohm Zs at socket. More importantly the cut-out has no earth to attach to. However there is an earth...
