    PME supply query (and bulk out the title)

    Hi all, I've been surveying 12 blocks of flats today with a view to doing full eicr's on the lateral mains and landlord lighting supplies. All the main services terminate at a Henly distribution board with no cut-out or main fuses. See pic, I've done very little on pme supplies and wonder if...

    PME system with earth rod aswell

    Been on a job today and debating what to put on the certificate. The DNO in early 2013 upgraded the supply and installed PME. The previous setup had an earth rod installed.

    Exterior socket on PME system

    I'm installing a 32A socket on a PME system. The socket itself is indoors and is on its own RCBO. The intention is to use the socket for power for outdoor events. My technical help line says that I should disconnect the earth at the socket then TT it. It seems to me that that would make it...

    100mA RCD on PME system

    I am going to a job this afternoon, new shower circuit. I noticed yesterday that the Wylex CU has a 100mA S-type RCD as the main switch and all the circuits are on 30mA RCBOs. PME system as far as I could tell (certainly not TT). Didn't give it much thought then, but was thinking about it...
