    Earthing conductor and main bonding conductor clarification wanted please.

    Hello, please can anyone advise me to help decide what would be the best way to go with this earthing/bonding issue? I apologies in advance as I know there are many threads covering this, but they often deviate and do not always decisively conclude. I have been asked to upgrade an existing...

    New CU, Bonding & Earthing conductor.

    Hi. I fit kitchens again now(fit Solar for a while inbetween), so most of my work is and has been done in kitchens. I have changed quite a few consumer units in the past - but never where it's a TT system. A customer I'm fitting a kitchen for this week asked me to change her consumer unit...

    calculating csa of earthing conductor with BS1361 fuse

    Maybe I'm overlooking the obvious but how would you calculate the min. csa of an earthing conductor of say a tn-s system when there is no time/current graph for a 1361 fuse in the BGB? Do you just obtain If from Uo/Ze and then use this in the adiabetic equation. Ta

    Earthing conductor csa/size (oh no, not that again I hear you cry)

    Firstly, appologies for raking this one up again. Although not new to electrical work the earthing arrangements in some properties, including my own, still mystify me. My home was built in 1997 by Bellway. It has a 60A service head with a 1361 fuse, is TNCS and has a PME sticker in place. The...

    Regs on isolating a DB and earthing conductor size

    Just wanted to double check two regs. 1. Do you HAVE TO have a double pole switch between the cut out and the DB (so you can isolate the DB) 2. Do you HAVE TO have a 16mm earthing conductor alongside the 16mm tails (the load on the installation is no more than 5 amps ((teleco cabinet Virgin...

    Live earth conductor

    Yesterday I was installing some downlighters in a bathroom, I isolated the supply tested L-N and it was dead, grabbed hold of the choc block which was used for the existing light, stuck my screwdriver in and got an electric shock. That was weird so tested again and it was still dead so I thought...

    Bonding to a lighting conductor

    Hi Boys andgirls Does any one have any idea on the size the bonding conductor should be to alighting conductor. Its for a small church, it is a TNS system single phase Ze 0.40Ώ and PFC0.575KA. The distance from the MET to the lighting conductor would be 60M away. If I understand this BS7671...

    I've gone around in circles several times on this and I'm still not completely sure what the answer is ... generally speaking, when changing a domestic CU in a house that has a TN-S supply and 6mm2 main bonding (which is in good condition) is it necessary to upgrade the main bonding to 10mm2? I...

    Continuity of neutral conductor

    This won't be the first daft posting of mine, but apparently once you get up to 20 postings you get additional privileges. So please treat me with contempt. When testing a radial circuit you establish continuity of the Line and earth when you measure R1+R2. What test ensures continuity of the...
