As long as you wire the circuits, be they Rings or Radials correctly as per OSG 7.5 and adhere to the rules therin, as well as OSG 6.15 you should be OK

Well 7.5 shows you how to wire the circuits and the reasons and 6.15 shows you what labels are required, nothing earth shattering (excuse the pun)

What do you mean

Send an an RFI to the consultant ,asking how he would like to comply with the relevant regulation based on his DB selection?

What do you mean?

 

[cliffed]

Thanks guys for the answer for above

If the number of earth terminals supplied within the DB , is not sufficient to comply with the recommendation of the high integrity earthing .ask him how he would like them terminated?

If you have to ask him that question then he aint done his sums right.

Sounds like she is one with a bit of sense

A good idea would be to measure the actual earth leakage on the circuits with all sockets in use. I would be interested to know the results.

I used to do a lot of IT room installs for a previous company and the local authority spec was 6 double sockets per 32A ring circuit. This was based on one workstation (one pc and one monitor) per double outlet. I always thought this was a bit on the cautious side.

that seems cautious, i might rig up a temp socket with my pc later to check
