TNCS (PME) in food factories where there is an area deemed Atex (expolsive)

SW1
Is it acceptable to use TNCS (PME) for supplies to food factories where there are isolated areas deemed Atex (explosive)?

With PME the neutral & earth are linked together before the main ACB and then it is taken in a single cable back to the main star point of the transformer, and then to grounded.


Apparently petrol stations can not be PME.  ?


Any thoughts please?

    An explosion at the Bird's Custard Factory in Banbury in the 1980s was used as a case study of how even substances such as custard powder can be explosive under certain conditions in at least one textbook that I have seen.


    I thought it was a good choice for the point of view of involving such an seemingly innocuous material - as compared to the more obvious hazards of flammable liquids and gases in the more often used case studies such as Flixborough and Piper Alpha.
