Neutral Earth Links

MS01

Hi There, 

Question on neutral earth links the Electricity Supply Regulations clearly states only 1No connection should exist. In our instance the TX is part of a PWN and therefore located in the switch panel. However introducing a permanent standby generator for back-up the question is typical is the consensus to use a 3-pole devices and have a solid neutral connection or 4-pole devices and effectively have a second neutral earth link for the generator straight on the outgoing side.  Conscious when the mains returns there will be a period of synchronisation where both the TX and generator 4-pole devices are closed effectively meaning we have 2No neutral earth link positions.

Can I ask for peoples thoughts.

    Then in the jurisdiction of the ESQCR you will need a switched N-E link.
