" The Neutral should be bonded to Earth at the Meter and be tagged as PME. "
Well now another two things I don't understand. What does PME stand for? And the neutral being bonded to earth. To me that is a No! No!. The neutral has volts on it and I have always understood that it should not be connected to earth at the domestic premises. I was told it is connected to earth back at sub station or the transformer that splits out the phases.
Well I hope it was the mower Alan and yes you don't actually need an earth to it. The RCD trips because on an unbalance in the L and N wires. I will have to try it again sometime. But it still seems unlikely the lead is in good order and when I cut the stalks off the grass it was bone dry. We hadn't had rain for about a month. Gladly we had some last night.
