[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 488031, member: 1408"] Its not a daft question . Definition of a PEN conductor . ( I may be wrong so don't alter your Regs book to " Well Deke said ....) A conductor combining the functions of BOTH earth & Neutral conductor . I've worked on only a couple of jobs that are now called PEN conductors , we called it concentric wiring . You can't actually do a job like it without Home Office permission I was told . A typical PEN job ( as I see it , someone knowledgable will correct us ) was 1 core concentric pyro , centre core was L , the sheath was E & N (or PEN) I presume. The pyro pot had a long tail on it ........ you made the pot (no gland) off into a clamp box ..... without cutting the tail you sleeved the first bit green connect to back of box . Sleeve the next bit black connect to N ..... sleeve the next bit green looped into the E terminal . 1 [ATTACH]10227._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
