Upcoming job to install lighting and sockets in a shipping container.
Supply is PME to a metal clad steel framed building and the container is sited approximately 2m away from the building. Also a heat pump within touching distance of the container.
Container sitting directly on the ground.
My little brain is going round in circles and was hoping for some guidance from others with bigger brains than mine.
I had a copy of GN8 somewhere but it appears to have vanished, new copy now ordered.
From memory 2 earthing systems should be further than 2m apart and the container should not be connected to the PME earthing.
What is best practice in this situation?
Also if possible the reasonings behind it, I like to at least attempt to understand why I am doing something.
As always help and guidance much appreciated.
