Come across this twice now - what's everyone doing with this I'm advising my customer it should be a bigger cable but it the old well it seems to work ok
Changed CCU in my house and am completing the paperwork.
It appears that the earthing conductor is only 10mm. The main protective bonding conductors are also 10mm.
Am I obliged to upgrade this (will be no easy task!) or can I put this in the comments section on Form 1 and in the Deviations...
what the general take on this if say you where changing a db and and there was bonding present but not the right size but it satifys test limts ? and also say are changingthe db and some switches dont have a earth but are plastic ? and the same with a light fitting a all plastic fitting ?
Ok you get asked to quote for a consumer unit change, doing the site visit there is only a 4mm earth cable on the gas and water, but they are earthed. I always include a quote to upgrade to 10mm and explain why. If you have a customer who says that they can only afford to have the board changed...

Just inspected a shower, found someone used 10mm yellow/green cable as live and neutrol conductor, the csa is no problm, but does yellow/green cable has the same insulation sheath with grey cable? i assume this is fine, but hope to get some confirmation...
cheers
If the main earth from the mains cable is 10mm and I replace the consumer unit with 25mm tails. should I replace the 10mm earth with 16mm as it is attached to the mains sheath and not sure if we are asllowed to touch that end. The tails to the meter and then to the isolator are still 16mm.
Morning Chaps,
Can I clarify something please
Doing a job today have verified main bonding to water already but its only 6MM.
Does this have to be upgraded to 10mm when carrying out any works i.e CU change.
Even if continuity is checked and acceptable???
