I've been given a really interesting job to do, and that's to retrofit a vintage caravan with 230v. Another company is doing the renovation work, I'm just tasked with the electrical work.
Now, there's a lot in section 7 of BS7671 to do with caravans, but it is vague on the earthing. My assumption is to treat it as I would a house, and that's to ensure bonding to any metalwork in the carvan (ie it's frame, any waterpipes and/or gas pipes), and I assume, if I've read this correctly, the availability of an earth cable to an earth rod, to keep the earthing separate from the PME supply at a caravan site.
The other vague description in BS7671 is the cable type to be used in the caravan. It seems to imply that regardless of the cable being used, it must be in conduit to avoid mechanical damage due to vibration.
Really looking forward to this job, something totally different. Anyone else done such as job ?
