Supply type identification and opinion on earth loop reading

[Muzza80]

You don't need an earth block, they have supplied one already. (Not to mention most cus have a set of earth terminals to use)
Better to avoid extra joints.

Actually this all came about because I need to run power to an outbuilding, I have another small 2 way metal CU to be fitted (to the right of the current CU) which will supply it, I need to earth the armour of the 10mm2 2-core SWA that will be terminated in an adaptable box on the outside wall. So I need an earth block so I can run one earth to the main CU and one to the gland in the adaptable box. The DNO earth block only has capacity for one cable.

Then replace it with yours.

Or, as John said, connect the other cable in the CU.

Yeah, replace it with mine would probably make most sense, fair enough. Cheers!

Didn't spot that, ours looks the same from the outside but has space for about 6!
