Broken PEN's have increased 8 x since 2003

davidwalker2

I've just seen this article in E&T highlighting the increased incidence of reported broken PEN's from 57 in 2003 to 474 in 2021.  It seems they are becoming less of a rare event.

    Is anyone actually adhering to this regulation? 

    Whilst it is a "recommendation" I can't see it happening wholescale, in that respect  it is bit like the AFDD recommendation -  not going to happen very often.

    One of the reasons the PEN fault detection were recommended for EV charge points was to avoid the potential damage to electrical and other services an earth electrode might cause. This seem to contradict that way of thinking.
