No RCD in place..

Dillb, I've not noticed in the OP's posts that they have received a shock.

Sintra, in one of the OP's earlier posts, they mention that contractors came and earthed the conduit.

That sounds like the original conduit system has been compromised, when the building was converted to apartments/housing units!! Though how the conduit has become a potential carrying containment is a bit of a mystery?

Must admit, I'm getting a bit confused now.
I hadn't noticed that in post 41, the OP states they and their sister had received a shock off of the conduit.
In post 5, the OP states: "and also a few days ago they earthed some metal conduits within the property".

I'm begining to think that the OP is not being quite upfront and open with us.

Which was my exact thoughts well over 12 hours ago.

Sounds to me like this is all about "Is there a way I can sue the arses off someone at the council and get shedloads of compo".....dont understand why the OP didnt just ask that in post#1.

Its probably because the OP was aware of the 'official forum troll', Biff55 waiting to attach his wife's handcuffs onto any unsuspecting newbie

replace "attach" with smash.
replace "wifes handcuffs" with dads sledgehammer.

(I know someone has already stated about making a mountain out of a molehill but last week my sister and I received a shock from the unearthed metal conduit it wasn't 230V but we would still feel safer with an RCD in place. If the council won't do it then we will buy one ourselves and employ an electrician to install it for us!)

Did you measure the voltage at 230v?

Is the original Socket metalclad and does it have a separate earth conductor in it?
Is the new Spur metalclad and does that have an earth conductor in it?
