Hi all
When carrying out a pir if the bathroom has no rcd protection is it a code 4 or code 2?
All sockets are rcho protected but bathroom light & elec shower on normal mcbs
reg 415.2.2, say i have a 20A breaker. is this then 50V/20= 2.5 ohms. and am i right in saying that the actual test of the supplementary bonding conductor is done with a low reading ohmeter and should not exceed 2.5 ohms ? thank you.
If I was to install a new shower for someone using an rcbo as theres no rcd protection would this be ok? What i mean is am I ok as long as the circuit I have installed is protected? Or would it be up to me to make sure there was protection for the other circuits?
Just another quick one on a CU Swap. no bonding to bathroom, ktc etc. If the circuit is protected by 30Ma and the Water and Gas etc are bonded and also .4 disconnection is met then no requirement for bonding. Do you N/A the box on the check list?
Hi there, when fitting a new s/steel kitchen sink and replacing a section of copper pipe with mdpe pipe do we need to supplementary bond between taps and original copper pipe or does the 30mA RCD on the ring main take care of that?
On page 3 of schedule of inspections (where you put a tick, X or N/A in the boxes), presence of supplementary bonding conductors appears twice - once in fault protection 1) automatic disconnection of supply and again near the bottom of the page under Additional protection. Have looked in the...

Started a bathroom refurb yesterday. Just replacing a bath with a shower, retiling and fitting new sink and towel rail. No electrical work required apart from moving light fitting away from shower.
Now the house is old with the original wiring. No earthing to the lighting circuit, no main...

hi all, just trying to clear things up. read various articles including regs and osg but having major arguments with someone about supp bonding. basically, im told if all final circuits on rcd etc, all disconnection times met and all other various rules in regs met then no supp bonding is needed...
A job ive been to has the main gas and water bonded but no supp bonding.
Am i right i saying that you can take your supp bonding in bathroom from the light or switch ??
Sorry for this dumb question. How are you meant to get a 4mm supp bonding cable into the terminals of, for example, a light fitting/switched-fused boiler connection when their terminals can't physically accommodate it? Does the answer lie in something to do with getting the supp bonding down to...
hi, have to wire up one of those whirlpool baths for a client. It comes with a 13amp plug and with reading the new rags I am taking it as that i can put an outlet or fcu under the bath, since its only accessible with a tool. Is this correct???
The whole board will be RCD protected btw. Or...
If installing a shower, is it compulsory to run a 4mm earth from lighting point to the shower? Obviously the shower circuit will have a 4mm cpc (10mm t&e). I understand that in an ideal world all extraneous conductive parts need to be bonded such as pipes but let's say that is all done and it is...
evening all....was on a job today (non-electrical and with a hangover too :() and the plumbers have used a piping system called Unipipe, don't know if anyone's come across it. The pipe itself has a plastic inner then a layer of aluminium and finally a white plastic outer layer. The joints used...
I am currently taking a power supply to a garden shed and need to upgrade the bonding arrangements, as there aren't any at all.
Firstly, can someone confirm that I do need to add supplementary bonding in the bathroom, regardless of the fact that I will not be touching any of the circuits...
After some thoughts on this.
Been changing a consumer unit at an old house. The cabling is mostly rubber with some pvc cables.
All IR'd ok, but the lighting has no earth at light points and switches although there is one at the c/u. There are also some sockets on the lighting circuit that have...
