Earth Rod. Milton Keynes.

Zoomup
Mr. Nagy again. The area of Milton Keynes he visited is one of the older pars, probably Wolverton, Stony Stratford  or New Bradwell perhaps. Victorian terraces. The supplies there are normally underground P.I.L.C. in most cases. Even if externally surface clipped cables are used as the main supply cables, there should be no reason not to be able to get P.M.E. earthing.


Comments?


Why did he install an earth rod? P.M.E. must be available in the densely populated parts of M.K.


Also a mention of a V.O.E.L.C.B. Note. It was the top terminals that were connected to the mains supply.

    Why was the board changed? He showed us the innards of the old one and told us that they were still in good condition.


    He didn't explain the Zs of 1.4 Ω at the hall socket. Could it have been via bonding to gas or water (or both) and thence to a supplier's earth elsewhere in the street?


    We couldn't see the service head so let's assume that the N-E link was open. I wonder whether anybody enquired whether a supplier's earth might have been available. If it had been, it would have avoided that unsightly conduit running up the front wall.


    All a bit odd!
