PME Earth supply

[Ant681]

Hi all - I am looking for some guidance around the MET for a PME installation. I am doing my first new build, which has had the supply installed, including meter and 100amp switch, however there is no earth wire provided?

Is it the suppliers responsibility to supply the earth to a MET, or is it my job?

Regards

Ant

You could have installed your earthing conductor a bit better than that

Strange place to put the MET....
Now you'll need to take bonding and your earth to the meter box!!!

It's not got one silly, there's not one in the picture is there.

Really some people, having to explain the basics to them.

This looks like a usual set up now, meter tails and earth through to cu, bonding in cu.

Really?

I see what your saying but all earthing and bonding conductors should go to the MET.
Maybe I'm being picky but why can't it just be done properly!! Lol

But the MET can be inside the CU as well!!

Yeh exactly, but if that's the case it should be a continuous cable from the service head to the MET.
Again maybe I'm just old fashioned.....
Like to see a good job

What about if you have a out house fed from a remote DB with several extraneous parts that all need bonding? Do you pull in several bonding cables along side the feed?

Doesn't know where to connect the earth despite the DNO label? Calls the earth cable a CPC? There should also be a label at this point 'safety electrical connection, do not remove' thingy.

Why does it? There's no DB :rofl:

If it was a PME as described above then yes you would have to run separate bonding along side the feed!!!
But that's a whole other topic...

Think he was just querying how physically he got to the terminal, I do plenty of domestic and have only had to do this once, all the other times (on pme) they've fitted an earth block with about a foot of 16mm going back into the head.

Here you go, I lend you this. Although not promising it will work
