Earthing Schematic Query

Hi all, hope you are well.


Just a quick question on the attached snippet from a drawing - basically for an energy centre and on their earthing schematic all earth bars are shown as follows:

The big text above is the drawing revision text saying the change was deliberate.


I would have thought the above is not right - the main conductor should be connected to the other side of the disconnecting link.


What they have done on site is install a different earth bar as follows:

Disconnecting link is wrong way round?


I am not sure of the rationale behind this?


Any ideas?

    No point in having the bus bar shown and specified with a disconnecting link if the link serves no purpose. 


    I assume that somebody has already bought a job lot of earth bars with disconnecting links, and is determined to use them, even where the link is not required.
