What reading should you get......

What reading should you get on a 'voltmeter' when testing between phase and earth at the consumer unit on a TNS system?

What ever the voltage is  Grin

Why are you concerned?  Anywhere in the region of 220 to 250 isn't uncommon.

If you are unsure of the earth connection, you should have a loop impedance test conducted.

Thanks for the reply.  I was getting 220.  I thought this was a little low.

Also the earth clamp on the incoming armouring was quite loose.  I'll get it checked.
