    Black or grey??

    wouldnt say it matters what colour you use for whatever purpose as lomg as identified in some way. But personaly makes more sense for black neutral and grey marked earth.

    element resistance

    my thoughts exactly-though Im just learning. maybe if the element is broken in some way and the live is exposed onto the surface as such-wouldnt the metal of the element be naturally earthed for safety and this is maybe where the earth leak is coming from. I dunno just spit balling-I look...

    Plastic conduit

    Not always though-if your limited to the length and are not going to use hundreds of meters you could just use one colour and label the wires as needed with either l n e or their respective colour sheath-that way could do it all for under

    Plastic conduit

    Its a strange one that-doesnt seem to be a precise explanation for singles-though using the spec you have said would suggest using 4mm t and e to allow for enough ampage for 32 amp due to thermals in the conduit.

    smokes

    Todays & yesterdays job

    With the submain you say no ocpd-what was the white box leading off to the metal jbox underneath meter box. Hard to see exactly what faults might have been there from the pics-what was wrong with the metal j box-was it earthed and was the choice of terminal blocks a good choice or not. Wouldnt...
