Hi all,
I have just been to price a CU change. The problem is the CU is about 20m from the mains position and is run in 16mm T&E. Here's the good bit the 16mm runs through a neighbours flat, so it can not be replaced and I can not run an earth next to it. I can, though not easily, run another...
Just been to a subdivided house - now up+downstairs flats. There are two earth rods which go to a single earth block under the floor, then leave the block as two earths up to the C/Us. (Effectively each flat is connected to the two spikes). There is a single mains head with 100A BS1361 fuse...
Went and had a look at a potential job, on the main incomer the label readed this electrical system is supplied by pme earthing.
I looked outside and saw the property was supplied via an overhead line. Can this still be a pme system?
I called western power to come and sort the earth out for a customer, so they said we only do tn-c-s pme. when the chap came he did a tn-s with a strap on the cable!! i said to the guy thats a tn-s he said no its a pme.
what do i but on the EIC Tn-s.
also he said that they only fit a max of...
I am looking from some advice regarding installing an SWA cable from a house to a stand alone garage some 20 metres from the house. The incoming supply to the house is PME. I understand that I will need to put in a seperate earth electrode for the garage installation. I am installing a seperate...

Been to a property recently that has a TN-C-S supply installed, but the innstallation earthing is via a spike. As the supply has recently been installed I was going to move the earthing back to the supplier (Scottish Power) unfortunately when tested, the Ze was 0.79. An engineer has just been...
Hi all,
Was hoping for a bit of advice on this,
Existing pme supply to domestic house, a supply needed to a shed, an avery,anothershed then a metal framed shed , all these out buildings are strung down a long garden over 40 meters.
My thoughts were to export pme to a submain, lets say Db1...
hi all
i am just wondering how can i identify if a properly that used to be TT has been upgraded to TNCS (pme) one i recently done a job in used to be feed from a pole but now has been upgraded to underground concentric cable would you say this is pme?
Am i right in thinking that you cant take the earth from a TNC-S supply outside to a garage? The garage is about 25m away and is supplied in 10mm SWA. Im a bit confused on the matter.
Correct me if im wrong but i thought this would be the correct plan of action;
Connect the armour of the SWA to...
