Hi
Having just received my EAL domestic installer certificate and a couple of months into C&G 2330 Level 3 I decided to look into re wiring my house for experience. To my amazement I found I have no main earth connection - I'm confident I should have a TT system in place but presumably who wired the house didn't take into account the most important part. of the installation. Additionally the main gas and water bonds are non existent. Scary to think I've lived in such a potentially dangerous environment for 7 years!
I'm going to have a PME installed at a later date but I thought for experience I'd add my own earth spike and 100mA RCD but to be honest I'm not entirely sure where is best to place the earth spike.
So I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice as to where's best to place my earth spike - I appreciate that without seeing the location this may be rather tricky but any advice would be greatly appreciated and perhaps I could add some pictures if anyones interested?
thanks
Andy
