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?
705.411.4 A TN-C system shall not be used. Therefore, C2.
But Chris, this thing is not a "fixed electrical installation", it's movable as it has wheels, so falls without section 705. "Rooms, locations and areas for household applications and similar are not covered by this section." Please see 705.1.
Is the installation not fixed to the hut?
We have not been told what the installation specifically comprises Chris. I still suggest that 705 does not apply to this hut as it comes under 705.1, "Rooms, locations and areas for household applications and similar are not covered by this section."
