Oh mate . . . . Im more confused than when i first posted now.
Everyone does things differently the best thing to do is ask your assessor. I get bored of arguing on here to be honest when I first joined it was all just a bit of banter but now you get so called super sparks on here who think they are the oracle of electrical, don't like other people opinions if they are different from there's or involves them doing more work. Let us know what your assessor says.
 
I rang two mates today, both in their late 50's, both had different opinions, so i guess i will just use common sense.
I will bond the armour at the main CU end and use the spare 6mm as my earth for the garage CU, at worst i will get an observation against me. I have had this chap once before and he is always keen to teach.

Thanks for the help and entertainment gents!

Sixth rule: no shirts, no shoes, no TT to a garage. Seventh rule: fights will go on as long as they have to. And the eighth and final rule: if this is your first post at Electricinasforum Club, you have to fight.
 
So Onions, since when did the NICEIC, Elecsa, Napit,or Stroma write the rules on what can and can't be done with a equipotential zone?
 
Haven't I seen somewhere on here, that in this case you could have two equipotential zones at two different potentials thus if both ends of the SWA were connected there could be a situation where a current will flow through the armouring?
 
What complete and uttet tosh. Find me a rule or regulation that says exporting a equipotential zone is not allowed.
reg 596.234.12.56.78.111 (i)(a) BCB (Big Crappy Book)?

The situation is this, would you rather a TNS with a ZE of 0.40 or A TT AT 4 OHMS? If it were your home and you had a TNS at 0.40, would you drop it at the garage and convert to TT?

Answers on a post card and reasons why a yes or a no haha

So dilldo, we join our chosen governing body whoever it may and we are assessed by people more qualified than me and you. You tell me since when did you decide you could export/extend the equipotential zone.

The dilldo name was genuinely an accident,

ha ha this place does pass the boring nights sometimes, I stand by my opinions but I must admit a couple of posts were for a reaction from dillb which I do apologise for. But. I will also add you cant change the rules to suit yourself, I admit life would be easier but it doesn't make it right

It's not a travellers caravan site were talking about it is a garage on someones property isn't it, eh?
 
Thanks. You must be really bored, maybe you should read up about exporting earths instead of revising vegetables ,

I'm awaiting you to get un 'arsed' about finding your evidence to justify your side of the argument.
You're in a small minority on this subject.
I'm genuinely interested in seeing some references on your part.
