So as I have the 4 core cable in stock is best bet run in a 10m2 earth seprate back to the main earthing term of the and bond the roofing girders which are over 3meters Above. it would be no problem to install as the ducting has been laid back to the house and stick with plan a and use the armourings as a earth as well as a spare core to my metal cald db and protect the whole installtion with rccbo at the origin and use the pme type earthing system the older guys at my place can't answer my qs hoping you guys can sorry to be a pain in the you know what

What reg are you thinking of there or are you just talking about the possibility of the 'new' TT being connected to the original CU and the need to de-link them?

I think he's looking at 531.4.1 but I don't see it applying in this situation.

Agree

James i would use your metal clad CU - it offers some mechanical protection and put an rcd in that, then in the event of a test or trip it can be reset more easily, the SWA does not require protection - mind i have said that earlier!

If the steel is just in the roof 10 feet away from everything i don't think that needs bonding either.

The need to delink them. As I said, in case you have problems with your exported earth.
