No MET?

[rick]

A friend of mine who is a plumber sent me this from a house where he was working. Looks like the MET is connected to the incoming supply with some sort of braid and nothing connected to it!

He said that a socket tester said all OK and that a few GY cables went direct into the CU, and could see earth clamps on the gas and water. I'm guessing the earthing for the whole installation is coming from that water clamp. Needless to say I told him to advise the home owner to get it checked pronto!!!

Anyone else seen similar? How could it have ever been left like that!!??!!

What a place to keep a syringe

And if there is a power cut does the saw fall on the floor?


TBH i would think a quick look in the CU would show what was going on - certainly sounds like a Roy Rogers installation.

Is that a 100A incomer with 16mm Tails ?

Advise he gets it checked pronto apart from the earth theres what looks like 16mm tails(Not DI) and what looks like 6mm coming off the live side of the meter (Possibly bypassing meter)

Looks like the ditributor has upgraded to an PME and consumer has not connected a Main Earth, the 6mm coming out the unmetered side of the meter is possibly for a econ7 changeover switch. for all we know the could be a 60A fuse in the 100A lucy.

Like Vamobo says it's PME, no one's connected it up!

I've seen stuff like that on Farms. But is that......braided earth?
