[QUOTE="apprentice87, post: 401097, member: 13534"] That was a concern i had... I know a bloke that used to work for the old SWEB [is an airline pilot now!] and he said that if i did not make provision for earthing the thing itself, that the DNO would refuse to connect it. On the other hand i was a bit concerned, as i knew that the supply would be TNCS. In the event it was up to them, i would have just had to undo a nut and disconnect the earth connection to the pillar. A while later different DNO people told me that now, they would not provide an earth to metal framed buildings full stop... As it is, they did provide an earth, and, if due to their crappy tncs system with its cheapo cable the entire thing DOES become live, [this was a worry and something i had considered] then i hope they got insurance!! They provided and earth, and thanks to the ESQCR, they have to maintain it now!! What they do with street lamps then?? There is a steel one of them at the end of my front garden?? Is it safe to pee on it??? [Joke!!] john.. [/QUOTE]
