correct .Looks like TNS, sheath used as earth
ThanksI would assume that the neutral would’ve been identified on a new head. Would still say TN-S
Could always verify by contacting DNO
It's not check the brickworknext time you take pic ,please correct that it not on is side !
Oh yeah that'sits a yellow thingy .why ?
Thanks I did think it was TN-S it was the 2nd earth going into the service head that confused me.Looks like TNS, sheath used as earth
Looks like was TN-S but it now may have a link to the neutral to form a TN-C-S come TN-S.
If you've got TN-S, why add? I'd like to know what's gone on with the earthing system as a whole. Why 'neutral' the incoming cable sheath?Aye that's right. Northern powergrid have been doing heads this way round here for a couple of years now.
Yes, I do not like the idea of 2 mixed earthing arrangements here. TNS/ TNCS it should be one or other. IMOLooks like was TN-S but it now may have a link to the neutral to form a TN-C-S come TN-S.
Thanks Des, that makes sense.Perhaps Dave its not two earthing systems,it may be Tnc-s with the sheath of the original Tns now only acting as a exposed conductive part
In my area they have often spliced the cable outside and lost that earth path whilst they converted to Tnc-s
That's what I was intimating, Des. It is the easiest and cheapest way, after all. But, why no label TNC-S or PME?Perhaps Dave its not two earthing systems,it may be Tnc-s with the sheath of the original Tns now only acting as a exposed conductive part
