Hi
Currently on a job at a hospital where we are installing temporary site supplies to canteen toilet block and office.
The supply is Tncs from hospital but the hospital electrician and contractor doesn’t want us to install earth rods in case of services below ground and they’re not prepared to scan ground.
Hospital electrician says we can use PME supply as long as it’s on RCD but surely this isn’t correct as if a broken PEN conductor will make all cabins live potentially and rcd won’t pick this up?
Also what other option do we have if can’t use pme and they don’t want TT. Surely under regs it has to be TT and there’s no arguing?
Thanks
