Discuss Wiring a van converted into a catering van? Help. in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
Thanks for the reply. There seems a lot of confusion on the topic that's why I posted the thread. I will opt to use 4mm then, it's just I have some 10mm at home . I will bond the LPG and the chassis and leave it as that I think.
That seems back-to-front. If the supply is TN-S from a genny with an earth rod, the installation earth will be approximately at the same potential as true earth even in the event of a fault to CPC within the van, as the rod does not carry the fault current. Therefore connecting the van body to the MET will not significantly increase that hazard. However, in the event of the line conductor contacting the bodywork due to cut or chafed wiring or being pierced by a screw etc, quite a plausible scenario, then if the bodywork is not earthed there will be a full 230V between body and true earth. In any case there will probably be many points of casual contact between appliances and the vehicle, possibly including via gas pipes. I would rather have a solid connection made with a cable.
As far as cable choice goes, how about H07RN-F as a tougher alternative to arctic PVC?
