Evening All

I did an install Saturday Night in a warehouse, as per quote by the office. The circuit i connected up was a panel heater cct in the conference room. The dis-board was fed from a MEM Panel Board and all test results satisfactory. I went to find the panel board in the warehouse to get info on supply characteristics and it was in a locked cupboard(NO KEY!). Flew in on the way to uni this morning and came across a head scratcher.

Mains comes into an ACB(air circuit breaker) panel. First id seen, cool bit of kit. Then onto the MEM panel board etc The main earth was via a strap(copper) that followed the mains cable into an underground duct and disappeared. I couldnt find the cutout anywhere and their wasn't an external hut either.

Im unsure what to state on the EIC as i cant ascertain the exact info, i think its TNS but would rather not assume.
