Little story for you about earthing
Many years ago when I worked folr BT I was supposed to install a small switchboad in Leatherhead bus garage.
How I was supposed to run cables across a high garage with inspection pit for buses I don't know. with buses coming in and out all the time
The very first thing before anything else was to check any premises to see they had a good earth. Leatherhead bus gagage had no electrical earth at all.
Instantly I threw the job back and refused to do the installation as the switchboard required an electrical earth as part of the system
Was I glad not to get that job or not? you bet is was
