IET announces new amendment to BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations)

Hi all


Just read about this in the latest edition of Wiring Matters Magazine and thought it may be of interest!

  • He has a three phase TN-C-S incomer to his calf shed with a concrete floor covered in Part P



    Certainly doesn't seem ideal for a PME supply (although I'd be a lot less worried if it was PNB).

     

    So from what I have read above, if I do the job according to the regs I have to TT the installation or at least the second board which would require a new TP board with single phase RCBOs and TP RCBO for a submain to third board that has been wired underground in concentric and put in rods to the sandstone. Then I can put a double outside socket fed by SWA. Cost £700 plus.



    Or stick in a say 4-pole 300mA S-type in an insulating enclosure (REC 4 kind of thing) in the tails upstream of the first DB and a rod - and leave all the existing switchgear as is? Then just add some DP 30mA RCDs downstream as and where you need them. Not ideal of course, but a lot cheaper.
