[QUOTE="sipxstream, post: 555379, member: 37713"] Thanks for the info. I believe you're correct, it's more for EMF protection rather than electrical safety, now that I think about it. In that case, perhaps it's not essential running a CPC back to the MET for this particular purpose. However, the data cabinet might though...? Would it be advisable to earth (or adding a protective bonding conductor) to the cabinet itself - and the removable side panels / door? I don't think I can rely on the powder coated surface to provide adequate protection as there are scratches all over, exposing bare steel. You're the electrical experts though, and I obviously am not, so I'll follow your guidance; if you say it's not worth doing, then it's not worth doing :) [/QUOTE]
