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

SW1 over 5 years ago

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?

I witnessed one personally many years ago in Ripon. I heard an explosion and when I turned the corner there was broken glass, bread, and cakes strewn across the road.

Was a Greggs that had opened late, by any chance - forcing the local residents to take decisive action ?
