One of the things that makes the U.K. supplies "interesting" is the three different earthing/grounding systems in use (see the diagrams in the Tech. Reference area).
At which point is the house earthing lead bonded to the neutral in NZ? Is it at the distribution panel, American style, or is it before the meter where the service enters the house, British style?
(The latter refers only to our PME -- same as your MEN -- system of course; in the other arrangements there is no neutral-ground bond within the house.)
