Confused! Plese help..

Looks like it's been drawn by someone who's never designed or wired an electrical system. Maybe been drawn up from someone else's sketch and not checked.

Just thought I'd give you an update. I replied to the online course author and questioned again the accuracy of the drawing. This is there reply:

"Michael,
Our electrical installations author has responded.
You have sharper eyes than our picture editor and than our author first time around. You are correct, there should be no connection between the earth and neutral. Even I, a publisher and not an electrician can see the error.

We have corrected and republished the diagrams.
Thank you for this. It is not often errors are found and we very much appreciate when they are pointed out to us and we have the opportunity to make corrections"

Make me wonder what else is wrong in the on-line course!

Thanks for your input.

Regards

When they've re-drawn it, you could get them to post it on here. It'll get a proper checking.
(There's loads wrong apart from the N/E issue. For a start, if they're going to show a neutral bar there should be two of them, and two wires in the same MET hole is poor.)

You are correct, there should be no connection between the earth and neutral.

They must be talking about a faulty drawing on another site
