Discuss Connecting a Portakabin in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

SYKRAPS

Hi Guys,

I have been asked to run a supply to a portakabin temporary office, this is something that I have never done before and just wanted to confirm that my feelings are correct.

Am I correct in thinking that the temporary building should have a TT supply as there is extraneous metal parts or is it in fact ok to run a TN supply across to it, I am aware that the extraneous requires bonding btw.

Thanks in advance but it is the word temporary which makes me think TT

The cost implications are similar so tbh I would rather do it the best possible way.
