    Location of PME Links

    Hey pepes. I'm a bit new to Ryefield boards, so maybe an obvious one. While installing the Ryefield boards in the risers to feed the flats in a tower block (40 floors), we were told to remove the PME links from within the boards. Should there only be a link at the supply, as it is a PME system...

    Best way to get new PME Earth connection

    On a previous thread I started a while back I needed to install a earth rod as a temp measure and it was pointed out to me that people have phoned the DNO and they came out quick and installed a PME connection so I'm just asking the best route to go to do the same. The Sanario is I'm heading...

    PME Earth supply

    Hi all - I am looking for some guidance around the MET for a PME installation. I am doing my first new build, which has had the supply installed, including meter and 100amp switch, however there is no earth wire provided? Is it the suppliers responsibility to supply the earth to a MET, or is it...

    TT to PME problem.

    I had UK power Networks round to test whether my TT earth could be changed to PME at my house which it is now. They told me all ok and get utility supplier meter engineer to connect up. Called utility company, they said we don't do that. Just get electrician in to connect it up. I pointed out...

    Electric Vehicle Charging & PME

    I will shortly be installing POD Point Electric Vehicle Charging units and I am very confused by the earthing requirements if the property has a TN-C-S Supply. I have read the installation manual of the POD Point, Amendment 2:2013 of BS 7671:2008 and the IET Code of Practice for Electric...

    Questions about PME

    Hi I'm on my last year of my apprenticeship and throughout my 3 years I've literally asked everyone I've worked with this question about pme systems. if the PEN conductor fully breaks (near impossible I no because it's concentric but let's say in the metre for example) your return path is going...

    Pme

    Ok, I have a basic understanding of electrical issues, but what I don’t figure is the PME system. The earth is connected to the neutral in the meter box, now if we touch the earth wire its ok, yet touching the neutral is a bad idea…zapp. so with the earth connected to neutral (and copper...

    Identifying a PME system

    This may seem like a daft question but when looking to establish whether or not a supply is a TNC-S supply (PME) can you assume that where you have a new service head which has the link to for earthing conductor by incoming neutral that this is a PME supply? Can you get a case where although...

    PME supplies

    Guys, was there a "typical" csa for tails and main earth in older PME installations, say 60amp cut-out? Regards. PS I know that this is the DNO's responsibility, but I want to get a flavour of what was the norm.

    Earthing pme

    I have just done my first mains change over and the supplier installed pme but did not provide an earth. There is an earth terminal on the cut out but there is no way of getting a cable in to it. Not sure what I should do. Any ideas?
