[QUOTE="Vagabondrobb, post: 553231, member: 36962"] Hi everybody, I’m trying to work out what kind of earthing our house has. We live in Scotland in a house that’s for the most part very old, and relatively remote. We have dedicated overhead wires and transformer delivering to our house (see pic 1). It looks as if it’s just live and neutral coming into the ground. If I follow the cable as it enters the house and into the loft space, it splits into 3 (see pic 2) - perhaps earth bonded to neutral here? The cable terminates outside the consumer unit, in our hallway (pic 3) where the earth connects to a bus bar. I have noticed one of the earth cable from the bus spans across the loft and drops into hot water cupboard, but it’s left dangling around a pipe. I assume that was at one time connected to the pipe work?? Cheers! [/QUOTE]
