Caravan hook up
Former Community Member
Hi I am fitting a caravan hook up on the wall next to the dno incomer box. No wires exposed. Do I still require an earth rod. The earth bond will be prob 1 ft long inside so not exposed. I know if I fit the box away using swa then yes earth rod would be used.
The reference to BS EN 60529:1992 in the EBay advert is just flannel, the “standard” is the IP rating chart, not actually an indication of what it’s IP rating is or anything else for that matter.
However BS7671 requires cables within caravans to be flame retardant to BS EN 60332-1-2, I can find H07RN-F to that standard, but not “Artic grade” PVC insulated cable which is stated as complying with BS EN 50265, which appears to be an older version of the same standard, but presumably doesn’t guarantee compliance?
To cut to the chase, what cable is suitable for the internal use in a caravan?
Is it the H07RN-F that is also suitable for the external supply lead?
Is there suitable PVC insulated flex and in particular is “Artic cable” suitable for internal use within a caravan, regards being flame retardant?
