no earth to consumer unit? photos

[Notaclue]

Hi all,

I posted a message a few weeks ago as an electrical report I'd had done on my house said there was no earth to the consumer unit. A couple of you asked for a photo to see exactly what the situation was. Hopefully this photo is ok! If anyone could help with this I'd be very grateful! Thank you

Yep, by the look of it no earth.

I have to disagree.

The consumer unit is not in the picky, and I can see GY cable in the picky

Simply solved though, by the looks.

^^^What he said, that's just the meter in the pic and the green and yella is heading somewhere...unless my pic is cropping that bit out?

Agree with Murdoch.

That's not a consumer unit, it's the meter.

I can see a Terminal on side of service head but you need to test to see if you have a DNO earth provided...!

what is the G/Y for??? ROD? WATER/GAS?

Looks like a tn-c-s to me, with no earth connected.

It is the meter, but that looks like an old PME terminal on the right hand side of the service head, with nothing connected in to.

It's like spot the ball, need a clearer pic!

It's been classed as no earth on the report but who knows ?

theres no earth connected at the pme

where's that gn/y bottom ( right hand one of the 2) going. is it to the incoming cable leasd sheath? TN-S

 

[ipf]

Thought along those lines but going by the report ?

Then again, they may have seen the empty pme term and presumed.
