Hi
We have been asked to look at continuing some mains distribution upgrade / improvements works at a permanent static caravan park.
Trouble is the works that have been started I don't think in many ways comply to regs - first time doing caravan park works though so my understanding on the regs for this is limited thus far as not having gone though it before.
Can you confirm my thoughts that all the 'caravans' themselves need to be earthed via a TT system?
The main incomer to the site has been made PME not too long back and the person who started the work for the caravan park ( a family friend who worked for a firm as a sparks mate/improver and has sadly passed away ) has taken a 3 phase PME supply to 3 external positions via 5c 25mm SY cable and then taken 6mm SWA via a RCD into the 'caravans'.
He has continued though the PME earth through - my thoughts and understanding is this should stop at the external positions (external meter box with henlys blocks in and then picking up a phase to a RCD unit) and the 6mm supply to the 'caravans' should be picked up via a local earth rod TT system?
He has also left this 3 phase supply yo be installed on 3 separate single phase MCB's as opposed to a 3 phase breaker? ;-/
There has been no paperwork thus far issued or design paperwork from whet was originally started and I now need to try to finish it - whilst explain that I think some parts of what he has already paid for need changing further - just wanted to check my views and gain others thoughts before I speak to the client?
Ask for further info and I shall provide if possible.
Cheers in advance for any replies and thoughts given on this.
