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 :)

  • If it is TT or TNS, you do not need to island the caravan and can just extend the house wiring as it is.



    Although most UK DNOs advise that apparently TN-S supplies should be treated as if they were PME - since they often don't maintain neutral-earth separation within their network these days. The DNOs may occasionally guarantee a TN-S supply won't be PMEd but it's rare and usually reserved for things like big caravan sites or marinas - not something you're likely to find for a normal domestic supply.
