O.K. on the continuous earthing lead, but what I was getting at is at which point is the earth tied to the neutral under your MEN system?

E.G. In America the main distribution panel has a common neutral/ground busbar to which are connected both the incoming service neutral and the main grounding electrode conductor to the rod. Under the British PME system we have separate earth and neutral busbars in the panel, and the earth busbar is connected to the incoming neutral just ahead of the meter.

At which point is your bond made to the neutral?
