As I said I confirmed with National Grid that it wasn’t PME.

Are you saying that it's not available, in spite of the sticker?As I said I confirmed with National Grid that it wasn’t PME.
No idea if it’s available or not. They stated the property is not PME and is on TT according to their records. There is no earth in that cutout and one has never been connectedAre you saying that it's not available, in spite of the sticker?
I did suspect that, but he says there's never been an earth connection, i.e. the knockout isn't knocked out.So do we think that whoever fitted the EV point removed the PME and did the crappy TT?
No they apply the stickers individually when fitting cutouts and will fit the appropriate one, have you done a Ze to the terminal under the blanking grommet ?No idea if it’s available or not.

I’d guess the sticker is on all the cutouts regardless and doesn’t determine anything as it states if all the conditions aren’t met then don’t connect the earth to that terminal.
Maybe they’re supposed to pull them off but they probably expect an electrician and anyone authorised to work on the cutout to know what they’re looking at.

You could over extend the cpc and loop it through the lug to the accessory so initially connecting to the back box first but would have thought is fine.That isn't an argument cpcs connect initially to the accessory.
To run in island mode (or any other backup power supply) requires you to have your own means of earthing, but that can be in addition to any DNO earth.Only other thing I can think is they never connected one as there’s quite a decent solar and battery setup (in terms of generation and storage) so maybe they did it to go full island mode and not rely on the distributor earth. But that’s just a pluck out of thin air guess.
With a TNCS the supplier never connects a main earth conductor, that's down to us - they provide the terminal only.No I didn’t as it hasn’t ever had one connected. So didn’t touch anything on the cutout.
I’ll be back there in August as they want a circuit running for aircon. So will have a look then. But odd that the DNO didn’t mention it was available. They just said their records show it’s TT.

I'm back in Aug anyway to do an Aircon circuit for them, so will have a look then. Just need to chat with the seal fairy...With a TNCS the supplier never connects a main earth conductor, that's down to us - they provide the terminal only.
I'd be tempted to arrange a quick visit from the seal fairy and have a little peek inside to see if there's a N-E link or one piece N & E block. I'd bet there is.
