stubby52 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I had an electrician come around to install a new consumer unit,he insisted he can't put the earth on the earth bar but only to neutral bar but this caused the rcd to trip so i removed the earth from the neutral bar for now and all working,i have the model with a spd(surge protection) and worried this should go to earth only.Should i install to example pic 2 or 3 model is pic 1 sorry for the orientation thanks for any info.

Crossy Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Correct routing is:- Incoming live to live input of the incomer. Incoming neutral to the earth bar and then to the neutral input of the incomer. Earth rod to the earth bar. So, it looks like Piccie No.2 is what you want. From this PEA document Groundwire Mk2 book-Manual.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubby52 Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 thanks i was worried that the SPD has a link to the earth bar so should the neutral be there,cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
