Hi, I would like to know how I could improve on this board. All opinions
[ElectriciansForums.net] Critical Feedback recent Consumer unit install Please.
welcome.
 
It’s the same reg that says collectively or separate. You intimidated it had to be collectively and that’s my point. If the op glanded earth seperately your post would have led him to believe he’d made an error.
I think its you who has been confused by mine and @Vortigern posts. I was asking as i said in my post because normally those in my experience who dont put the earth in with the mains tails normally have the live in a different entry to the neutral. Vortigern has simply posted the reg about this...if the OP is worth anything he wouldnt get confused

And my point was he posted half the reg
 
I am not intimating anything please try to understand that. I am quoting a reg which is slightly controversial in it's interpretation, nothing new there! However there are grounds for saying it means the earth conductor supply and live and neutral will go together into the db. The part i later quoted has NOTHING to do with the first part I quoted it is talking about another earth with SWA, nothing to do with the supply to the DB. How you conflate them together is beyond me. This is not a personal attack on you merely trying to make a point which is significant in terms of best practice and compliance and only that.
 
he’d made an error
He may well have a non compliance, I mean how do you interpret that reg. As I say it is a bit controversial and there are other threads with people divided on it. As to Wiska, you asked my point? I hoped it would be self evident but as you are being obtuse for the record the point is there is provision in the insert to comply with the reg quoted.
