HI
Q Which would you say was the safest method of earthing a cow shed ie connect & bond to the supply PME earth terminal or use an earth rod & rcd making a TT installation.
Ive Always Assumed that a properly bonded system was safe on PME. However Ive just been reading about an incident in Ireland where six bullocks were electrocuted in a PME earthed installation where all the earthing & bonding was upto code. apparently there was a fault on the supply cable to another part of the farm. the information isnt specific but I suspect a brocken neutral
So Im wondering would TT be safer. ?
