Probably if the 3 radials fail they’ll plug the three into the triple gang.Some cunning plan though for the use of the triple gang 13A socket outlet?

It’s amazing how many ‘electricians’ are on Faceache.Just been told on Facebook by a self professed "Electrician" that not having an Earth in a rural house in France is not "dangerous" also because an RCD is not directly connected to earth it does not need one to work.
But only if the property has an Earth, in rural France the Earth is the responsibility of the building owner the DNO/EDF do not supply or fit one.Am I missing something here? An rcd does not require an earth to function.
you do of course need an alternate path for the current if you want it to trip but that is normally provided by the fault.

There is always a path to earth though. Regardless if the supplier makes one available
True!There is always a path to earth though. Regardless if the supplier makes one available
Good man I’m often guilty of that myself…
It's doomed to fail long before a decent installed one would though.View attachment 97389
The ivy acts as a drip loop, and the floodlight helps shield that rj45 connector from the rain...still all working 2 years on from the last time I took a pic of this

I suppose as long as they are rcd covered then its all dandy.It's quite high up on the wall, so nobody passing by is going to touch it. However, this qualifies as a decent installation here! Compared with some, it's a very classy bit of work...and nobody dies, well, not often! (Iknow, you only die once, but you get my drift!)
However, water ingress to the sockets will be the most likely scenario. Oddly enough, also a scenario inside this bar where there are 2 sockets immediately above the sink...
I just love how casual they are, it's amusing...but a bit worrying too. The bar owner is a friend, so I was able to chide him about it. I asked what happens in a massive downpour? Easy, he said, I just unplug it til the rain has stopped!
Yup, that whole lot is run off a single plug and socket inside the bar...simples!

Yes 30 minutes between pics to prove that it's not deteriorated in that time.I see 2 identical pictures.
Is this a game of spot the difference?
