Earthing panel on petrol station or not to earth it

[i=p/u]

But your also long enough in tooth to say ' aye makes sense if wired in front if you..

I'm in as mate in this job but asked for electricians wage on Friday as I'm well worth it

Petrol stations are a whole different ball game. Petrol/diesel tanker drivers get paid a small fortune for a reason and so should sparks who install the electric to go in there!

I know enough to know enough that I dont know enough, so unless you know a man who knows enough to know enough of how to do it, walk well away ....... unless of course you are just carrying his tool bag!

Hi i=p/u,
I am not being obstructive, this type of installation is way outside of my competence, TNC-S is banned for a start which is probably why the earth is being segregated, this type of install tends to be highly specialised, even the cabling and glanding needs to be certified in certain areas (explosive gases/environments), it is way outside of my league (and probably most sparks too).

This subject is definitely not to be learned via an internet forum, sorry I cannot help you more, but I would not know myself what is correct and what is not.

Aye, we worked that one out!
Money wise, on this particular job, probably not. But neither am I.
Still do it for the experience though, as long as you have zero responsibility!!!

 

[Badged01]

Archy, I just so love the no responsibility bit, it didnt work with the first wife and Im still paying maintenance! But perhaps in the electrical world we can get away with it ........

This is a scan of my card ( no details of course )
This allows me to work on petrol forecourts
However I still know nothing appart from the seperate earthing requirement !

To isolate swa you could use a CMP TYPE 777 adapter,the strange thing about petrol station hazards and petrol vapours is if you get some explosives and blow the ATM out of the wall you would expect the whole station to go with a big bang but it doesn,t ???

 

[Engineer54]

When i think of all the petrol stations i've seen in my life overseas in the Middle East and Far East, that have absolutely no precautionary measures to electrical or any other systems against hazardous environments, ..... it makes you wonder!!

Never heard or known let alone seen a single one of these petrol stations go up in smoke with or without a big bang in all those years either!! lol!! Believe me some of them were visually absolute horrors, and you were damned pleased to being driving out of the places!!

 

[i=p/u]

Well I'm wiring forecourt lights and there getting wired in twin+earth. The actual pumps and LPG gas was wired by diff company and different cables. Blue sheath ...

 

[Silly Sausage]

Great news, you're back!
We were getting worried the petrol station had blown up.

 

[i=p/u]

They haven't filled the tanks up yet,, they waiting on me to give up smoking or get sacked
