Earthing Arrangements Identifying The Correct Single Phase Earthing Arrangement TN-C-S

[@lawolsten]

This is such invaluable information!! I'm an 'amateur' electrician and your content is a big help. Thanks alot.

Hi. Thanks for the kind words GSH Electrical

The DNO are supposed to omit/delete one of the values on the service fuse carrier, either the 60A or 80A.

Hi. Correct but sadly this is often missed. Thanks for watching GSH Electrical

What is the point of a double pole isolator in a TNCS? Either single or triple pole. Cut the live or cut everything.

Does that earth go to the consumer unit?

[@GSHElectrical]

Yep 👍🏻

American electrician here. Interesting to see how you guys do it over there. Thanks for sharing. Do you ever install ground rods at the service entrance? The meter location shown in the video?

[@GSHElectrical]

Hi. Thanks for watching. We use earth electrodes on our TT earthing arrangement. All the best and thanks again for the support GSH Electrical

@@GSHElectricalisn't it gengerous ,i mean not having a rod at the service entrance just in case we have a broken neutral outside the house? Here in Brazil we use that earth orrangement but we put one,two or three rods right down the electrical meter driven into the ground just in case the neutral fails, and we call it here TN-S AND NOT TNC-C-S.

@@brazilonline8154 I imagine the earth bonding to gas and water pipes provide sufficiently low impedance to ensure the RCDs can still trigger from a fault

[@brazilonline8154]

@@simonmartin4599 i know that, but let's think just in case we have a broken neutral and the RCDs happens to fail as well ? So we 220 volts ready to catch you. 220 volt is very dangerous becouse it has twice of the current of 127 volts, but i know that is very hard to happen two fails at same time. Here in Brazil some state are 220 volts other are 127 volts, in the state where i live is 127 and in the state where my brother lives in is 220 , in other words the voltage here depend on which state you live in.

Looking at my incoming supply at my home, it has a label for P.M.E System indicating it is TN-C-S, but no earth is coming from the supply, but coming from an earth rod outside. From my research this means that it is a TT system, but i don't understand why it would have been labelled as PME because if it were PME at some stage, i doubt that they would have changed it to TT. Any thoughts?

[@GSHElectrical]

Hi. You can send me pictures to my Facebook page if that helps... are u out in the sticks? Thanks Gaz

[@winner1338]

i thought it is a TT. That earth is not coming from L and N but outside. 1:30 i'm confusing.

No one ever gets the supply "authorities" permission to take the supply fuse out. You just do it.:D
