    TT system and gas bond

    Doing some bits for an old boy and checked the bonding, the gas bond does not go back to the DB or MET, but is staked right next to the main earth rod. I suppose it will effectively put the pipework in the same equipotential zone as the main earth, but just why make your life harder?

    Rcbo's on a TT system

    Fitting rcbo's to a TT system using a Schneider distribution board I read the instructions to the rcbo's and it clearly states that they are not suitable for a TT system. I have not seen this on instructions to crabtree rcbo's and can only assume the issue is that when tripped the neutral is...

    Hi, Got a Domestic TT system which needs a new 100ma S Type RCD. What are your thoughts on this being placed in an Insulated or metal enclosure? It is not in an external meter cupboard so falls under 421.1.201 (within domestic). Thanks,
