[QUOTE="avinalarf, post: 76823, member: 631"] Update on previous week's job... Called EDF [yesterday] and, surprisingly, they booked an engineer for this morning Applaud Smiley. Great guy who was a fountain of knowledge and informed me that the installation was one of the early PMEs and that's how the earths were installed. Anyway Ze checked out ok, but the reason for the high reading when checking continuity to gas bonding was due to the fact that there was no link between the neutral and the earth bars at the CU, which was necessary :| . Well, this was all new to me, but I did as he suggested and hey presto, reading comes right down to 0.16 Mohms, which, even though I thought it was still a bit high, he said was fine. I think I've convinced the client that she REALLY should upgrade her CU, so obviously, I'll upgrade earths whilst I'm at it. Thank you all for your valued input. Nat [/QUOTE]
