Hi All
I went to a job today which had a 1930's install. VIR, 5 amp plugs for heaters, the works. Also no earth whatsoever. Some cpcs connected together as protection but that was all. The house isn't occupied. Its a total rewire from the intake out.
As the work doesn't start for a few weeks, I told the owner to contact EDF to get them to install an earth. (I realise that I should have made this call myself to avoid the Chinese whispers scenario but, hey ho, I didn't).
Apparently EDF told the owner that it could be either PME or TNS and that the electrician (me) should install the earth clamp / connection in the appropriate location and they would be along in 8 weeks to test it!
I always understood that this is the SUPPLIER EARTH because it is provided by THE SUPPLIER. Whilst I have no problem putting a clamp on the intake pipe and Ze testing it, i didn't think that this was my job to do.
Should I be making a call to EDF myself or just providing an earth??
