    Every EGI must have a single line diagram as a minimum ... yes please ... with a copy attached to the COC and secured in the main DB or next to the main DB ... this is just as important as the labeling.

    There should also be a diagram of the PV layout with all the relevant information ... especially the voltage and current produced by the panels.

    AC and DC must be mechanically separated and labeled.

    The single line diagram must be displayed at the DB.

    The use of screw type and not compression type metal conduit ... so no bosal conduit on the roof top ?

    the job I am watching being installed on the roof of a garage ... I wonder if PVC piping and trunking is allowed ... let see as we dig deeper.

    And then the AC DC mechanically separated is an intresting one as well!

    I have removed any reference to the sans draft ... as this thread is for discussion only to help us understand what might become the new regs.

    Dave can we move this thread to a members only or closed group.

    Trying to understand the functional earth ... does this mean that if you connect lets say the negative conductor to the supplier earth ... you dont need to run separate earth wires with the DC cables ?
