Does designing control systems for the nuclear industry have much relevance to installations that fall under BS7671?
is this Post 1 again for another 58 post of WTFOnly complication would be extraneous conductive parts and earth arrangements
Your BS7671 qualifications should be acceptable to the local council as proof of competence and they then could accept your installation certificate and issue whatever compliance notice they do based on that.
Every council works slightly differently but most will generally work this way if you approach them sensibly before you start the job.
Given the close proximity of the main installation (3m according to the OP) I’d suggest you’d never be able to create a separate earthing zone by say deploying an earth rod. So the reality is that presuming it’s a PME supply it’s better to use the main earthing of the house to ensure all ECP’s are at the same potential during a fault condition. Of course we are making assumptions but without seeing the existing system it’s hard to be 100%Only complication would be extraneous conductive parts and earth arrangements
I didn't know that you are allowed to use smaller sections than us .
We use the 5A/mm² rule
It is a fair comment but before part P I have, on occasion, rewired the odd house. Designed and installed by me. I am not a sparks and don't pretend to be but I do feel I am competent to do my own work.
All tis sounds OTT, i am not saying its all cods wallop but in a way this is just ashed with a welder that runs from a 13amp plug. two 300w pillar drills and lesser watt bench grinder and buffer. i have seriously for years used and extension lead for these item with no problem. Just now as it is i have a good size workshop to me i want all fixed in place.
are folk over thinking it or is the regs that serious now ?
yea make a mountain out of a molehill and it ends up the person wanting a bit of simple info is worse off than he 1st started and more confusedare you new to this forum?? Of course we over complicate things

See OTT there ha haWith the added bonus that in the winter that extension lead can be laid along the path to the garage to keep it clear of snow...
