P.M.E. and Potato Peelers.

Zoomup
About 2 years ago I was asked to undertake electrical work at a local chip shop/fast food outlet. I was concerned about large metal drummed wet potato peeling machines located on a wet floor in an old outbuilding and the P.M.E. earthing system. I could not devise a safe system in my mind where the large potato peeling machines positioned on a wet stone floor could be made safe with the P.M.E. earthing.


Anyway, unfortunately recently the place burned down and is now boarded up. The cause may not be electrical, but due to oil catching fire.


I have not done any work in the building at all.


Because the machines could not be effectively TT earthed I did not proceed with any work.

    Never mind Zoom lad,

    In the past I`ve outpriced jobs deliberately so a not to get them (for one reason or another) and still you get the blighters


    Some folk can be so unreasonable and not go for the cheapest quotes when you want em to!


    Yes, I know as a customer, I wanted an electrician to do a job for me. The sparks agreed to the work but over priced it and I still wanted the work done having arranged a day and time with the client. The sparks then changed their availability. So I had to do it myself. Absolutely no way I'm able to recommend that person in the future.  Probably a very good sparks between tea breaks.
