It's an external service head splitting a supply to various installations

Can you distinguish the earthing system from this.

It looks like TNS

It looks like TNS

Would the cable dropping down to the outside armour of the incoming be an earth.

it's a box on bricks. like a Lada in Toxteth.

 

[radiohead]

Not certain, I'd have a look at at the load ends and see how the earth is connected there

 

[Vortigern]

cable to the outside armour

That is my thinking, yes with the caveat that @radiohead has raised.

What's that cable going off at 4 o'clock.....looks a bit iffy.

edit....Don't say alarm clock, tel.

It's hard to distinguish the earthing system from the pictures, having a lead incomer suggests TNS, but it could eaisky have been converted to TNCS.
What equipment is installed where the service enters the installation?

The Cable that appears to attach to the incoming cable is most likely an earth, but its not possible to say for sure from a picture.

It is a metalclad wallbox used to feed mural wiring services. It is PME as can be seen by the 16mm earth wire from lead sheath to neutral conductor although it should have a PME label fixed.

That is somewhat bigger than 16mm nor can you make assumptions.

But it does look PME'd though.

That's a very big 16mm!

You cannot say for certain from that picture that it has been converted to TNCS, it is likely, but not guaranteed.

Need to have a look at the load ends.
