Just started testing at college and not sure of the following in regards to the R1 + R2 testing:
1. Why are the readings in a ring the same or similar? Compared to radial?
2. Why do you cross connect line and cpc in a ring to carry out the R1 + R2?
Thanks

I am running a load of cable tray at the minute. I said it required cross bonding with 4mm cable, but my boss said it wasn't required as we are using metal joiners...........
Who is right?

Hi folks, would appreciate a little help here. I'm used to three phase 12 wire star configurations on gennys, but I've just come across a small (10KvA) set wired for single phase.

U1 = 1 and 12, and is the L1 take off point.
V1 = 4...

I could do with a bit of advice on how to and why we should cross bond to the pipes that enter and exit a central heating boiler. Should each of the water pipes be cross bonded. Should the gas pipe be bonded? I understand that that the incoming services must be bonded as they enter the...

Hey up, I understand that if disconection times can be met there's no need for supplementry bonding,
