PLASTIC PATRESS BOX, METAL SOCKET PLATES

Thanks everyone,

So it looks like as long as I make sure the earth cable in my ring main cable goes into the earth connector and is properly sheathed I'll be OK

PLASTIC PATRESS BOX, METAL SOCKET PLATES

Thanks Blakey

Perhaps my question should have been: How do I ensure that metal socket plates are earthed correctly. Yes, they are dry lining plastic boxes set in the plasterboard so there's no earthing point in the corner like with metal boxes.

Thanks again
