    Supplementary Bonding - How was it wired?

    Alot of the properties I work in, were built when the 16th Edit ruled, most with no RCD's for bathroom lighting. Majority have evidence of supplementary bonding, clamps & earth wires on basin pipework, rads etc, or in immersion heater cupboards. However, some have no sign of that. Now I've read...

    Bonding (Water, Gas & Supplementary)

    Hi Guys I am about to undertake a consumer unit change and having looked at the bonding already in existence in the property I don't think that any further bonding is required. I am fitting a new consumer unit fully populated with RCBO's and there is sufficient 10mm bonding to the incoming...

    Supplementary bonding?

    Met someone the other day, he told me he was a lecturer teaching electrical installation at the local collage, he said that if you have main water and gas bonded you don't need any supplementary bonding regardless of whether you have RCD protection or not. I didn't want to argue with him too...

    RCD and bonding for pools/saunas

    Out on site and somehow all the books have walked out the van! Could someone do me a favour and look in the BGB and tell me if bonding is exempted if RCD is in place, and whether the RCD needs to be 2p or not? Not even sure what there may be to bond yet! Cheers muchly. R.

    Supplementary bonding required with RCD's?

    Much discussed issue this one. Appreciate any comments. I let a small one bed flat out. Electric only ie no gas. Year back I had a new CU put in with all circuits on RCD's (RCBO for lighting). Accompanied by an EICR. Registered ECA sparks did the work. The EICR documents that the mains...

    Supplementary bonding

    With the advent of Rcds is it still necessary to (I) supp bond in bathrooms and (ii) at pipe work from boilers? My logic would say 'yes' so that in the event of Rcd failure, zero potential continues to be achieved. There has been much discussion with myself and colleagues on this issue. I would...

    I went and did a visual inspection on a flat. No Rcd protection present. 10 mm earth to water and gas was connected. No sign of supplementary bonding. So i did a long lead test and found that all pipe work in kitchen and bathroom was below 0.05 Ω. Does this mean no supplementary bonding is...
