Hi there, on a new build Im currently doing, they have decided to put the mains supply (metre etc near the front entrance, I have run a 25mm 3core armoured and have put an isolator in the mains cupboard, its about a 25m run from the mains cupboard to the mains cupboard, do I need any additional earthing measures?

thanks

So is the "metre" 25 "meters" from the cupboard or is the "meter" 25 "metres" from the cupboard?? I'm confused dot com.

Told you to stick to feet and inches. No confusion then!

I can't imagine why. I mean, most of us are nice lads and Tony's had a couple of pounds of raw meat shoved through the bars of his cage this morning so he's ok ..... for a while. :biggrin5:

Exactly!!

You should have seen the confusion in the engineering industry during the change over from Imperial to Cillimetres. Drawings arriving on the shop floor printed on Metric sized paper with Metric dimensions which had been converted directly from the original Imperial dimensions and given to a bloke whose machine and measuring instruments were Imperial. The poor sod (me) had to spend half an hour or so with calculator & pencil changing all the dimensions from Metric back to Imperial before the job could be started. ... Madness!!!

The Grantham grocer's daughter fixed it though when she arrived on the scene with her Final Solution ..... :censored:

Could trip over those feet on the way to the metre?!

Aye, but would that be the Meter or the Metre ..... I mean, when is a meter not a metre??

Hopefully you will answer Pete's question? Also perhaps give some ideas yourself as to why you think you may need an earthstake?

........... and how would he like it cooked; rare, medium rare, well-done or Tidyboiler's specialty - burned to a cinder?? :leaving:

If you use an earthsstake what does the earth get tethered to?

Earth rod every 5 yards, hammer it straight through the SWA . No need for any of that silly green/yellow cable then
