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.

     


     A good question. And why get a London sparks to travel all the way from the big smoke up to the land of roundabouts and concrete cows?


    Some possible reasons.


    1. The owner is a London property investor and wants to rent out the two up, two down M.K. house and wants to cover his position regarding safety.


    2. It may be a financial lender's requirement.


    3. The new owner wants to completely refurbish the property.


    5. The new owner bought the property via an on-line auction sold as unseen.


    6. An "expert" suggested a new consumer unit as there was no earthing present.


    Any others anyone?
