    They say there are no stupid questions but I might be about to disprove that - PME

    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...

    Harmonisation of colours, PME & don't snip out cores!

    Changed a C/U today, when i took cover off found live = blue, neutral = red, with cable ties marked L & N in correct position. This was the same at meter so it must have been the meter guy! The meter had a test date of 2006, outside meter box probably fitted about same time. PME must have been...

    Domestic PME, Radial socket outlet problem

    Domestic PME, have two 2.5mm t&e on a B32 mcb, if this was a ring at sometime then the continuity is broken somewhere and i cannot locate the break. No access to underfloor, no spare ways in the CU, has RCD protection to 30mA. I'm thinking it is not compliant to put two Skt Radial cct's on one...

    When PME is NOT recommended.....why??

    Something that's always bugged me, and I've never fully understood WHY (just know that's it what the regs say) is why certain installations are prohibited from using TN earthing, only TT (caravan sites etc etc). Anyone care to enlighten me?

    Earth spikes and PME

    I have been reading a little about TN-C-S and T-N-S and I understand what is going on generally. I understand TT systems OK. I have read conflicting posts about installing earth rods with PME, some people say it is a good idea, some people say it is not. I just wonder what is the advantage of...

    Not come across this before but the installation is labelled PME system but there is no earth connection supplied by the distributor. The earth connections are stuffed inside a loose connector in the fuse box and a 4mm cable connected off the incoming water supply, obviously not allowed anyway...
