Caravan electrical hook up?

I've been asked to install a supply to a hook up for a caravan in a garden.

I see that the connection of a PME earthing facility to any metal work is prohibited, is there anything else I may have overlooked?


Thanks in advance :)

  • Hi Mike, sorry for the lack of information, my main concern was with anything caravan side of the hook up.

    The hook up unit will be supplied with SWA from the house DB, the house supply appears TNCS.

    This is what I was after thanks:

    "If house is TNC-s and you are creating a TT island, then assuming power is going outside in SWA, then earth the armour at the house end, so the PME still protects the cable against damage, but at the caravan end, use a large stuffing gland and isolate the armour,  taking an earth from a local electrode into the caravan."
