A disagreement is merely an opportunity to learn something new! I certainly did, not sure about anyone else..Gawd this is like watching an impending train wreck.
What are these occasions then?
Spin, that is incorrect.The EAWR does not apply to a domestic installation.
I have a vague memory of a reg somewhere that stated it should be earthed at at least one end and 'preferably' the supply end.
It should a earthed or connected to the same earthing system as used by the protective device protecting the SWA.
If the SWA was feeding a separated TT installation then clearly the conductive part of the SWA would be earthed from the supply (TN) end,and electrically separated from the earthing arrangement at the load end..Does this statement suggest that it can be connected to whatever earthing arrangement exists at the origin OR alternatively, connected to a separate earthing arrangement at the load end?
As you have disagreed Murdoch, and you will not accept that you are wrong.
Please read these quotes, verbatim, straight from the LAW of the land.
EAWR89 & HASAWA74.

I did not say the EAWR does not apply to domestic work.Spin, that is incorrect.
Read the requirements of Reg 3, then look at HASAWA, Reg 3, and come back and tell me that EAWR does not apply to domestic work, and explain your defence against these laws.
