The supply cables must installed outside the pitch area and buried at
a depth least 0. 14.42. An
adjacent notice detailing how connect and disconnect the supply safely
must also provided, shown Regulation 721.528.1.13).
The wiring the extra low-voltage battery supply must run such
a way that does not come into contact with the 230V wiring system
(Regulation 721.
Because the mobile nature caravans recommended that the
electrical installation tested and inspected intervals considered

switch and RCD break all live conductors (Regulations 721.1. 14.1).553.3).521.5mm2
or detailed Table 721.514.
Each socket outlet must provided with individual overcurrent protec-
tion and individual residual current circuit breaker with rated tripping
current 30mA (IEE Regulations 708.
