Temporary Supply - Emergency

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
Hi I have been asked to help with a temporary supply to a takeaway shop that has no electric meter. 


I am thinking of Hiring a 10KVa generator to provide the supply but have never dealt with a job like this before.


Would love some opinions and guidance right now, would be much appreciated.


Also would this be classed as notifiable works?


Many thanks

    If both are on the same supply, and it's TN-S, no issue electrically (Legally may be a different matter). If one side or both is TN-C-S, then connecting the earths could cause huge diverted neutral currents through your temp. supply, so 10mm T&E isn't going to cut it. (assuming the meter ONLY was removed, and it wasn't disconnected in the street by cutting the cable!)
