One last time, i am repeating myself here. Is the metal work a extraneous conductive part? have you tested to prove it one way or the other?

trying to find Reg now

Best of luck, but you ain't gonna find one!! There is NOTHING wrong with extending a PME's Equipotential Zone. Distance vs cost being the main factor as to whether you leave the Superior earthing system behind in favour of a TT system....

Yes I have!

Ze between 100 and 200 ohms - acting as an earthrod


in regards to SWA - Armour is jsut cut and tapped at both ends - no glands
Inner insulation just passing through a 20mm hole in Iso in Main House - no supporting clamps - no earthing clamps
In House SWA is cut - only earth Conductor over 10mm is the 3rd core of SWA


2 x 30mA RCDs in Series
 
So you livened the house up without the main earth being connected?

What was your IR result when you tested between the main incoming earth and the metal work?

- - - Updated - - -

Yo have left lots of information out of you OP.

Like I said I went in to change Main Switch
Main Earth is connected via 3rd Core in SWA - its the Armor at Fault
Didn't IR - Installation Isolated and advised to get an electrician to repair work

Part of the MK contract is Im not allowed to offer my services to do work for these customers

Property owner is a retired Electrician (15th Regs) he had not looked in the CU ever
Nor had he checked any work - he relied on the Electrician being qualified and registered

I know i left lots out on my OP - sorry

Wish I had taken Pictures now! - Hind Sight is wonderful

- - - Updated - - -

I have a feeling the OP may have been registered before under a different name.

Never only this name sorry to disappoint you Dillb
 
So you have now left the poor owner without electricity, all without any reason or right too?
 
Like I said he is a retired electrician - Even he was discussed with the quality of work
He agreed to Isolation


Napit, MK and LABC also Advised Isolation until it had been fully tested by a qualified electrician
 
This thread is so full of cattle excrement its unbelieveable

You were changing the main switch, you had no idea why the original contractor didn't do it. Then you are working for MK. How do MK know his main switch need changing. Also while you were there you have spent a good amount of time examining the installation even though your job should have taken about 10 minutes?

Are all electrical contractors from Pembrokshire full of it?

I remember your identical twin brother Nicholas Owen also being from that neck of the woods.

MK had a recall on several Main Switches - Main Contractor stated he could not attend so MK Passed it onto myself!

Look i don't need to explain myself to you - yes I should of taken a picture and maybe you would have seen.

I have a very good reputation in this end of the woods - Working for several very large names including the ones mentioned in this thread and many others.


I only posted this as a good conversation - yes I should of said more in the OP

Lets put this thread to lay because at the moment Dillb you are only obsessed in having a bitch like always!

END OF!

I'm REALLY curious as to why so many think you can't extend an equipotential zone on a PME install.....
Wholesalers must love the ability sell all those extra earthing rods....
