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.
There are standards for testing that cables are waterproof enough to be immersed, - both ANSI and EN, and the EN would be 60811-501 (more info on the Elend website here ) I guess in due course after the Brexit dust settles well have a UK standard as well.
I'm not sure that many makers of PVC cables report test results to any of these standards however, but in an ideal world we could say 'any cable passing the waterproof test XYZ'
