[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 389969, member: 1408"] The attitude regarding earth terminals from DNOs across the UK stinks TBH. None of them seem to have the same criteria. And typical that the guy thought a 951 was a Hepworth ( had to look that up ) I only know the coiled constant pressure spring which work a treat ...well....so I'm told ... There are sections of the network in the areas we cover where the earthing has broken down , must be thousands of properties that have high impedance or nothing at all , but are relying on the gas & water systems for earthing . And they are rapidly becoming plastic as upgrades are carried out but still nothing is done . DNOs are not bothered because its the responsibility of the homeowner to keep his installation in order........that is only achieved by passing that responsibility on to his electrical contractor , who is obliged to leave the installation in proper order. Or as we often find ......do the rewire ....fit that shower .....do the bathroom & kitchen refurb .....replace the board ....... and ignore the main earthing situation !!! [/QUOTE]
