Whilst that may have been identified, this doesn't explain why the "short" didn't use the circuit CPC (earth) back to the fuseboard . which is what I would have expected unless the circuit cpc wasn't connected at the fuseboard.
Was this circuit a Ring or Radial and was it tested properly for continuity?
the electrician did say that the electrics in the property weren't earthed, and were relying on an earth on the gas and water pipes?
He advised me to call my supplier (E-On) and get them to sort this earth out. After half an hour on the phone to Bangalore or somewhere, Ive got someone coming tomorrow to fit a smart meter ffs. Despite telling the chap countless times I need someone to look into the incoming connection, he insists its something they'll deal with as part of the smart meter install. The cynic in me suspects he's taking cr@p and is on commission for getting someone out to install a smart meter
Would this usually be the job of the DNO (northern powergrid in this case), or something I should get my own electrician to sort?
Sounds like you need a new electrician .
Did said electrician give you any paperwork for your work ?
no paperwork yet, other than a bill
What makes you say that anyway? I’m guessing you’re suggesting the electrician should be the man to sort out this earth issue rather than my supplier or DNO?
