as written in an earlier reply one of you guys gave my a link to a pdf explaining all yes you can export the PME if there are no extraneous parts in the outbuilding however if there is then thew SWA is earthed from the PME for the cable only then stops at the outbuilding where electrode is...

guys i think there is a whole host of confusion going on, many thanks for peoples advice and direction :-)

yes but its TT that reads 5ohms, can people please read previous many many many thanks

the outbuilding is TT

Yes, the House is TNCS an SWA cable feeds the outbuilding, only two core and the armouring is earthed from the house only and stops at the outbuilding, then an electrode is earthing the outbuilding

yeah i did find it bizarre because the run to the electrode is very short too just outside the outbuilding

im going back there tomorrow to finish off some work and to do some more tests, what advice would you give just for me to have extra info to draw on

its only a very small circuit, 2.5 twin and earth radial supplying two double sockets protected by a 16A MCB and a main RCD 30mA

Hi Guys My Zs reading was around 8ohms and my Ze was 5ohms for definate as i retested a few times, now as the outbuilding is protected by a 30mA RCD then i am lead to believe this is fine and complies with the regs

many thanks that confirmed what i was thinking, they are protected by an RCD so its all cool cheers

Hello i just wanted to run something by you.. if you had a high Zs reading on circuit on a TT system but the TT system is ok on Ze (5 ohms) does the regs state that if the circuit is protected by an RCD then it can be waivered? many thanks

Many thanks Steve :D

ive just read up on it, and im running SWA from the house so the Steel will be earthed from the house and if there are no extranoeus in the garage then i can earth the garage from the house ill RCD the circuits in the garage and not from the house, but if there are extraneous ill earth the steel...

Hi Is there still a requirement for earth electrodes to be installed on an outbuilding if you are running a feed from the house to a garage type building? Plus is it still regs that you earth the cable from the house but not at the outbuilding end? or can i get away with not installing...

Hello Excuse my bad knowledge of the English Language but do you know what the this means.... Can you please change the status of the tv aerial its refering to an aerial in a caravan tourer many thanks

thankyou

thanks guys yes i know that, the question was can anyone shed light on what the draft means about zone 3 not being defined, just in case it does get put in there thanks

Hello Please excuse me for not understanding English correctly, would you please explain what this actually means does it mean the is now no zone 3 and zone 3 becomes zone 2? or is it something else? thanks

Mant thanks guys, i take it thats why the sockets are fed by 1.5 flex as they are both protected by a 10A MCB, well if i wanted to extend the sockets i may aswell spur off each one and as long as they are not all used at the same time then im sure it will be ok as they are all protected by 10A...

many thanks
