Three Phase overhead supply is it TN C | Page 2 | on ElectriciansForums

Discuss Three Phase overhead supply is it TN C in the Periodic Inspection Reporting & Certification area at ElectriciansForums.net

My house has a two wire supply coming in along the outside wall, it was clearly a TT in the past but has been converted to TNC even though the supply is via 2 individual separate single cores.
The DNO risk access any existing TT before conversion I am led to believe, I see no reason why your install won't have been converted at some point even an overhead supply.
 
You probably have TN-C external to the building then the PEN conductor is separated at the service head which gives the S on TN-C-S.
 
While carrying out a EICR I found on first inspection that there were no RCDs installed . When I checked at the Pole Mounted Transformer the Earth & Neutral were connected at the Neutral point. So am I right in concluding it's a TN-C System? The 17th Edition states that RCDs should not be installed where a TN C System is used (411.4.4)

Far more likely to be a PNB supply which is a form of TNCS.

A lack of RCDs does not dictate what the supply type is, its either a sign of the age of the installation or of non compliant work.
