This installation is under the stairs. The isolation switch on the left is for the lights of the property and the one on the right is for all ring mains. All the earthing wires from circuits seem to be wrapped around a screw in the top left of the unit, but there is no earthing connected to the incoming and there is a white wire wrapped around the pipe which runs in a panel of the stair case. I am not sure how old this installation is but earthing does not seem something that was considered.

DNO will charge for this.....just rod it....


I would carry out a Ze test to the sheath. I can guarantee that the sweated on lug will give a trouble free connection to the lead, beautiful bit of sweating. If it is a good Ze reading ie less than 0.8 ohms i would use it to commect your main earthing conductor to.

I agree, but he got warned off live testing on his previous thread, he's a youngster.
 
what i cant understand is why i`m getting quoted for replying to a post about applying for PME in the first place.....i never said that i would have it PME`d....nor did i suggest that there wasn`t an adequate earthing arrangement here either.....
