Hi all , went to look at a job today..... Main house with PME all good bonding etc. The detached garage and workshop also has a separate PME supply. Inbetween main house and detached garage they have built a one bed granny annexe, this links the two buildings but with no access through to...
I've previously posted about doing a CU replacement for my assessment. I will also have to re-supply a small garage CU (20a radial + 6a lighting), which has been answer for me, thank you.
The property has a TN-C-S supply, which will be fed with new 25mm tails, 16mm EC. The garage is link...
Think the builder ripped the earth rod out... Whatever happened there's not an earth now. Instead of installing a new one am I allowed to take the neutral from the metre and connect a main earthing conductor in a henley block.
The street does have pme available, I checked. Is it legal though???
Hi all, long story short...
viewed cu upgrade job and realized non dno pme connection - ze showed 2.2
property just fully decorated and cleaned...as usual!
client has tenants moving in before pme can be done but has been ordered to dno
nightmare trying to install a rod for TT due to layout...
Hi all, great site and sorry for the long post - I'm after some advice as I don't have total confidence in the 4 sparkies I've currently used with regards to the test results on my cert. That said I am not a sparky and if I'm being a total muppet please tell me - I can take it :-)...
I have a query,
Im working on some signage that is connected to a PME supply. This is supplied to a leb header by straight concentric 16mm cable and then to and RCD with outgoing circuits to the sign.
Now I have just seen that work by others have been carried out in the form of doubling up on...
Went to look at a job the other day,
The customer wants some "electrics" installed for his swimming pool, pond, and jacuzzi. Had a quick look at the existing Jacuzzi supply: this is tapped off of main tails (henley blocks), into Seperate RCD enclosure with 40A MCB. Unable to locate bonding...
can i take pme earthing outside of a commercial building to supply some containers or am i right in thinking its treated as the same as domestic and i only take live and neutral out and put an earth rod in local to my new supply?

So guys I know that this is a frequentley asked question but which way would you do it?
The building that requires power installing has extraneous parts by the way.
Would you.
1. Devorce the PME earth from the house and install a spike.
2. Use the PME earth from the house within your...
Who is responsible for fitting the above, I always thought a supplier could install both.
But just been speaking to EON on behalf of a customer and they say they can fit a isolator but it is up to to the DNO to install the PME. :dunce:
Hi all,
Just wanted to run this past some people, its for a little job im doing (possibly by moonlight). The property has recently (yesterday) been converted to PME when the DNO changed the cut-out.
It is a farm and ususally around here they will not give PME to farms. The old service was TNS...
its advised to install an earth rod not compulsary unless there is a window in the roof where direct contact could occur, there is argument that bonding class2 equipment could cause a potential too.
if the array is not accesible i wont be installing any earth electrode in these circumstances as...
Hi guys,
I've been called to look at a flat in north London. The flat is in a converted piano factory. Looking at the CU, perhaps installed in the 70's or 80's, it has a CPC. All good.
Under the CU is a termination box of some description. The tails come up, through metal conduit, into...
Please be gentle with me it's been a long day.
In my previous life I was an electrician, suppose I still am but not practicing installation work.
So I am trying to get up to speed with some modern practices, mainly Earth Loop Impedence.
In my daily work I constantly use a megger for safety...
I'm an not that familiar with TNCS systems at all, as almost every system I work on is TNS. My question is this, is there a way to tell if a system is in fact a TNCS system. There is one I am currently working on which is labelled as PME, but rather that taking it as gospel that this means it is...
