Earthing System

The earth fault loop path on a TNC-S type Earthing system will incorporate the supply company's

• Sheath of the supply cable

• Installation metalwork

• Neutral conductor

• Earth electrode of the incoming supply

In a PME system the neutral is kept at earth potential by

• The use of a cpc

• The use of an earth electrode

• Joining the earth and neutral at the consumer unit

• Earthing it at many points along its length

Protective multiple Earthing (PME) is an arrangement

• Where a conductor combines the function of both protective conductor and phase conductor

• Where the supply neutral conductor is used to connect the Earthing conductor of an installation with earth

• Where a conductor combines the function of both protective conductor and neutral conductor

• In which a number of electrical connections maintains various exposed conductive parts at the same potential
