I know that mate I was just using the term loosely between sparks lol. This sounds like a sub board to me (so running in an earth from MET would still be "correct" lol). Maybe im just looking too deep into stuff lol.An installation has one MET.
The initials stand for Main Earth Terminal.
An installation may have EMTs (Earth Marhshaling Terminals) as well as an MET, but there is no requirement to have any.
All circuits of a location containing a swimming pool, are now (just as with locations containing baths or showers) required to be provided with 30mA RCD protection.
Depending upon where the board is situated, it may be that the circuit supplying the board would also require 30mA RCD protection.
However as the requirements are retrospective, it could be argued that a lack of RCD protection, would only Warrent a code C3, if the installation complied at the time of it's design/construction.
Sounds like it needs ripping out to be honest
Please tell us what gives us the authority to do this. I'd love it if we had the clout but we don't.conduits connected to earthing in a corrosive environment is my concern - the board is earthed vi the conduits supplying maintails from isolator below it. I am see the lack on main earth cable as a C1 - and the db should be isolated until the necessary remedial work has been completed
Cheers
Why on earth would it need that?
