However there are cases where it can be a less ideal choice. JW covered
the case where it gets too expensive, but there is also the case of a
building like a greenhouse where it is in effect impossible to maintain
a proper equipotential zone, since there is ready access to a local
earth (i.e. you are likely standing on it!) that you can't bond to your
equipotential zone.


Just curious: how does that compare with the local earth you can stand
on in a cellar with a bare dirt floor?


Similar situation..., (although properties old enough for a bare earth
cellar floor did not likely have TN-C-S head ends either)
