Shepherds hut
Former Community Member
I’ve been asked to do an Eicr on a shepherds hut and the supply to it, only had a quick look. The supply is from a farmhouse tncs earthing arrangement to a commando socket. The hut is all wood except chassis which is steel. I think it would probably fall within the definition of caravan for bs7671 so with the tncs would not meet the regs. However since the thing is entirely wood except for the chassis is there an argument for a c3 code?
well - are you testing the caravan - in which case you have to assume it may be moved about and could be plugged into anything, and its internal ADS etc is not reliant on the RCD at the supply end, and that a very wide range of Zs and PSSC would be OK.
Totally separately, it would be better plugged into a barn or outbuilding that is TT, or the socket that supplies it could be made more like a caravan outlet, and given its own RCD and Rod.
