Yes it is John, but if possible I would like to know we're I can find information about powering outbuildings with diffrent earthing systems at the dwelling as I can't seam to find any concrete answers requarding this subject
Evening all, just a quick question, I've been looking at this subject quite a bit now can anybody give me some hard evidence requarding exporting a earth to a out building, I've heard so many diffrent things like you shouldn't connect a pme earth to a outbuilding earthing terminal and all sorts...
OK thanks I will put the CPC of the t+e in a crimp and make sure it is taped and clear of touching anything and just connect up the TT system and keep it out the way of the TN-C-S then that should be fine then as only the container will be on the TT system
Thanks John, just wondering tho how would you suggest of keeping the TT away from the CPC of the incoming supply as the CPC of the t+e feed would need to be connected to the MET of my new metal clad board or am I going in the complete wrong direction here
Thanks for your reply John, it it worth installing the rod just as precaution incase of dry spells and surly if the rod is installed it would create a easier earth path if a fault was to occur within the container?
I understand where your coming from, I wasn't particularly glad when I seen the t+e hanging but it was all ready installed prior to me going to the job and the path underneath has just been nicely tarmaced so no chance of digging that up, what are your recommendations with what I've got to work with
No it hasn't got anything it's just going to be used as a workshop so just power and lights to be installed also should mention the container is about 10 meters away from the house
Evening all, I was asked to price a job today which was putting power into a metal container, the sockets and lights would be installed using plastic conduit as the feller doesn't like galvanised conduit, the supply is already there which is a 10mm twin and earth on catinery and this is fed...
