I'm installing an EHU on my drive to plug in my motorhome. The instructions say to earth the armoured cable to the earth point in the termination box but on the commando socket there is no point. The socket is mounted on a piece of angle iron set in the ground so can I earth to that or should I use a new earth rod?
 
Welcome Tonyo, I have approved for general forum for speed of response but you will be assigned DIY status when admin is next online and the thread relocated but this won't effect any posts that have been made :stooge_curly:

This is a slightly scary question to be honest!
The armoured cable needs to be earthed via the correct cable glands to the installation's earthing system.
I strongly recommend you seek the help of an electrician,
 
Blimey! As above I think you need the help of an electrician.
