Earthing panel on petrol station or not to earth it

[i=p/u]

We installing this panel below on Monday in a petrol station. The swa is coming in the bottom so we need to cut out square and add paxlin plate to gland into as the petrol station is not connected to earth from submain, and on its own TT system..

There is none , isit just 100mA rcd???? This a guess.

Waaaaaaaaay out.

Come on enlighten if you have followed my posts last few years ,nearly 5 , you'll know I haven't mentioned panels like this before .

I'm just an employed person working with a company responsible, not me..

Maybe breaker needs to be added, this is new panel not connected up yet

I'm in as mate in this job but asked for electricians wage on Friday as I'm well worth it

Petrol stations are a whole different ball game. Petrol/diesel tanker drivers get paid a small fortune for a reason and so should sparks who install the electric to go in there!

I know enough to know enough that I dont know enough, so unless you know a man who knows enough to know enough of how to do it, walk well away ....... unless of course you are just carrying his tool bag!

Hi i=p/u,
I am not being obstructive, this type of installation is way outside of my competence, TNC-S is banned for a start which is probably why the earth is being segregated, this type of install tends to be highly specialised, even the cabling and glanding needs to be certified in certain areas (explosive gases/environments), it is way outside of my league (and probably most sparks too).

This subject is definitely not to be learned via an internet forum, sorry I cannot help you more, but I would not know myself what is correct and what is not.

Aye, we worked that one out!
Money wise, on this particular job, probably not. But neither am I.
Still do it for the experience though, as long as you have zero responsibility!!!

Archy, I just so love the no responsibility bit, it didnt work with the first wife and Im still paying maintenance! But perhaps in the electrical world we can get away with it ........
