We were a proud nation of Engineers ,....Most of the rest of the world requires Earth electrodes on TN-C-S installations - it's about time JPEL/64 caught up.
is that boiling the kettle at the same time!We were a proud nation of Engineers ,
(I'll blame global warming making us all equal)

Let’s open an old thread.
looking fo4 a brief answer. Wishful thinking.
on a pme system having an earth rod as an addition is perfectly ok in my opinion.
im working for and under a new electrician at work.
we have had a distribution board fitted by outside contractors. They have earthed via a 16 mm earth conductor within the 3 phase SWA supplied from a PME system. They have also popped an earth rod in at the new distribution board. We are going to run feeds of this board for various stuff.
the new electrician wants to convert to TT or get rid of the earth rod As he thinks it’s wrong because of “potential differences” I disagree.
Am I wrong? I’m willing to accept this If I am,
but I know earth rods where proposed as additions in PME in the 18th. So I’m sure it’s OK.
Thanks for quick responce. My thoughts exactly. Just had to check in case I had got it wrong.If the rod is bonded to the distribution board earth then surely there can be no potential difference. Did he mention which two points he was thinking of the difference being across?
I agree with you and really can't see the problem here, but it will be interesting to hear other views.

This new guy has much more experience with these types of systems than me or so he said at interview, coming from industrial and comercail instals, but I’m starting to suspect he’s been relying on others to design his jobs.
