DNO cable

Kelly Marie Angel

Hi just a quick question I used to know this but now can't remember if the old PILC cable joined to a PVC covered cable as a replacement for a faulted section  how do they keep the earth impedance down? Especially if the PILC length is now a lot less than it was supply's in properties along the road are a mix of TNS and CNE  Thanks

    Thanks that answers my question  it partly came to mind because of a discussion elsewhere about neutral potential to earth and I wanted to make sure I've got it all straight before saying my opinion on there.

    Mike as explained how the return path for PE is maintained.

    As per my response to Andy above, it's not as simple as "it's now TN-C-S" or "it's now PME", sadly.
