    How do you test main bonding when it's several meters long?

    CU in hallway, water pipes into house are out the front door and round the other side of the house. Probably a 6 -7m main bonding conductor. a) Is this safe? b) Is there a way of testing it without using really long leads? Cheers, Ahab

    Main bonding

    Hi all Water, gas, oil ext. should be bonded within 600mm as it comes into the property, also before pipe tees off. In a commercial building can you main bond the water pipe say 30m in, as long as good continuity and readings are ok (below 0.05)

Is there a calculation with 0.05 or less as the answer? Or is the idea just to keep it as low as...
