The flat has concrete ceilings and floors and the bonding cable is deep in the structure of the building. No obvious route to run in a 10mm. I rang...
Hi, yep I understand that I am designing and installing the installation. I was just after the thoughts and advise of others. As I work on my own it is often helpful to "chat things through" with other sparks and thought that forums were a good place to do so.

Hi Richard
still re thinking this, I'm sure I have seen installations with an unrestricted supply and an Eco 7 supply both direct to switches then the elements without any other form of control. Is this acceptable and just 'not best practice ' or is it completely wrong ( if wrong why?)
sorry...
Thanks to both of you for your help. Im guessing that as I have two supplies( one unrestricted) then the BX2000 is the way to go. Much appreciate the help

Thanks for the prompt reply, its been doing my head in
If I understand correctly
The IR test would only be done if your unsure if the pipe in question need bonding ie if you cant see a bond or it comes in in plastic then changes to copper. if under 23k it needs bonding if over it...
Dear All
I expect this is going to raise a few eyebrows but..
I know that is your unsure about an earth bond to a water main you can do a continuity test and look for a figure under 0.05 ohms.
I have also read that you can do an IR test, under 23K ohms needs bonding and over 23K does not
Now...

Thanks for the reply. I hear what you are saying and am looking into joining NIC but have always understood that any fees are already paid in with the planning app.

Hi Lenny
It was a total refurb and when I got the plans and building regs it said in the regs that electrical work must be carried out by a registered electrician or a competent person to BS7671. As the regs have been passed by building control I assumed that they were ok with either.
Fingers...
