dont know if this is the right section, i just had lightening hit my house and sparks flew out of my electric box, the crazy thing is is that everything is still working??? i am worried something could still be short cuircited or something, do i need to call an electrician or is it ok because everything is still working, thanks.
 
He should have also checked Ze.
You originally said the supply was PME, so if the earth has been lost (and therefore the neutral too) then the neutral may be finding an alternate path through the main bonding if that makes sense.

At least I think thats possible anyway if the C was lost from the TN-C-S

hi xraytek,im not sure, he took the bok off the pme aswell, he said 10 out of 10 for the electrics, said the y were wired almost perfect and said to me was i sure it was sparks and not just static or sumthin, sure it was sparks though.
