[QUOTE="steptoe, post: 160467, member: 7"] no prob with you using a 80A S/F but you also need to protect with 100mA RCD, so why not use a little 1 way CU with an 80A MCB.? no opinion as to whether you use SWA or tails, MEA wont be bothered either way, Ive done both in the past, although for 15m SWA may be a more prudent choice. as for MET, remember if you put it at/near SF then you need to get your MEBs there as well, best to put it close to CU if possible, it makes life easier in the long run. @Batty, once out of Douglas or Ramsey most of the Isle of Man is TT, and unfortunate of you to say unfortunately, why.? TT is by far the safest earthing system to be had if installed and maintained correctly. where abouts you working Pip.? you may have issues around Laxey due to the sheer amount of slate, I had to drive 3 rods in once, and 5 in Maughold for the same reason, extendable rods only work till you hit the slate bed, then they simply wont drive any more.
