Re-Wire of existing EVCP



Hi all,

I'm sure you can advise..?

I'm designing a re-wire of an existing TN-C-S outdoor facility which includes an EVCP installation pre BS 7671:2018, and changing out the TP+N DB and final circuit wiring for new. Whilst make making a large assumption prior to a site visit, I am not aware of the EVCP being TT install and expect the PEN to be providing the earthing arrangement. As I am providing a new final circuit supply, is this statutory that I remove the PEN and provide an an earth electrode to bring the EVCP upto BS 7671:2018? Irrespective this is best practice and will be employed.


Thanks

    Despite the moniker, BS 7671 "Wiring Regulations" has no statutory force. . . 


    No, but we will not connect a customer’s installation that does not comply with the latest edition of BS7671 to the Public Electricity Supply. On our Test Certificates, the installing electrician signs to say the installation complies with the latest edition of BS7671. 


    Regards,
