Just a quick question, need to add some lighting to an existing circuit, during Pre tests found zs value exceeds maximum permitted, it is a long circuit to be fair around 200m, it is 1.5mm twin. It is on a 10amp type b at the minute cant drop it to a 6A due to the amount of fittings on the circuit. There is a sub board half way round the building in the lift motor room I have the choice of re feeding the second half from this board which is possible but the other problem is it has a 110v emergency back up supply to each fitting which is the same length. Would it be deemed acceptable to pick up a 4mm earth from the sub board half way round into the circuit to bring the zs down? I really can't think of another way around this unless anyone has an idea?
 
well....yesterday i was first fixing a kitchen install for a builder who lives next door but one...
job was in Bradford...
thats ready for the plasterer now.....

i will have to be there when kev kitchen arrives with their IKEA units ...YUK!!....and they dont have service voids in the units....so i will have to be there to get cables through for appliances....they also feature hardboard backs....total crap...

i cant understand why folk dont just pay a few quid more and get wickes units...much better...

but theres been plenty on Malcolm....been doing a lot of condition reporting on care homes....

all 3 phase stuff...squareD s-line panels with QO-E breakers...main panel was thermal magnetics....

done 4 of them care homes now....7 sub boards in each....
