    Hi folks, I came across this cutout today with an earth cable going directly from the cutout into the ground....is it some sort of hybrid TT system? Ze was 0.39 which seems too low for TT (but a bit in the high side for PME? Armoured cable runs from here to the house about 20m away and I took...

    Surge protection devices for PME supplies?

    I've been installing Type 2 SPDs in consumer units for several years now, and they always come as a pair, connected across L & E, and across N & E. Typically they plug into a holder, sometimes as two separate SPDs (e.g. Hager, with separate E connections), more often now as one combined SPD...

    Hi. Not sure if it's the right place to ask, so won't be upset if it gets removed. Apologies if the terminology (PEN/PME/etc) is used inaccurately. I had an EV charger installed in December on my detached garage by a local electrician. The charger is one that doesn't have a PEN fault detection...

    Street lights on PME?

    After conducting a recent EICR I found among other things that the Galvanised columns in the carpark area of this premises seem to be connected directly to the TNCS system.

    Steel Container/cabin with PME supply

    Hello, Where I work there's a steel cabin that other employees have installed and powered up without certification. Am I correct in thinking it's covered under part 717.411.4 that it can not be connected to a PME supply? I've been asked to test it and I'm concerned with the design and...
