Hi Guys - I need a bit of help.
There is a run of armored cable from the shed to the back of the garden with a 2-gang socket on the end. I opened it up and noticed that it does not earth to the little grub screw in the back-box, is this normal?
It has been installed with an earthing nut. It looks like the earth is in two places:
- Earth cable from the armored going into the socket
- Earth cable from the eating nut going into the socket
Is this correct - I am wondering if the earthing nut should not be going to the little grub on the back panel, or possibly link the grub screw on the back panel into the socket so its all earthed together? Is any of that necessary or is it ok?
Any help is appreciated!
