Earth and bonding cable checks-any tools available?

[Tof99]

A cooker installer, is an installer who can safely install electric, gas and dual fuel cooking appliances.
All of them have a MFT (Fluke 1652) and perform polarity, EFLI pre and post installations, but they are now expected to confirm reg 132.16.

I don't get the negative posts here, I just was looking for some pointers to make their lives a bit easier.

Why all the negatives vibes?

Heres the answer for you then.

Firstly you need to check that the pipes are exteanepus conductive parts ( the test for this is explained in GN8). Now as this requires you to disconnect any bonding conductors you need to safely isolate the whole supply to the installation, but you know how to do thos already dont you?

If it requires bonding

Use the correct meter (according to GN3) to check the end to end resistance of the cable, now this has to be done with cable disconnected at both ends and with the whole supply still isolated from previous test, the result must then comply with the value within GN8

The cable must then be correctly sized for the earthing system in place and size of the incoming neutral.

yeah exteanepus, that'll really throw him lol

Because you should be capable of teaching them how to do this if your claim earlier is correct.

Surely extraneous?

I hope they carry out all the dead tests too and in the correct order, and understand the results also.

imagine been at school and telling the careers teacher you want to become a cooker installer:dunce2:

'There are loads in Curry's or Comet

That wasnt the only typo.

Anyone know the C&Gs number for Cooker installing? Electric of course, for Gas you would need a gas safe cert Shirley

Somebody's stealing your apostrophes, Bas:censored:! :smilielol5:

stop calling me shirley.

how many times since 1980 have you used that one? :49:

 

[telectrix]

if these cooker installers are expected to check earthing and bonding, then they should have been trained how. you could help by telling them where the connections are if they are not obvious.

But you look so nice in that skirt, Tel!

 

[Tof99]

I could easily quote from a GN etc, but those publications are intended for a competent person.
Perhaps I should teach them all the adiabatic calculation?
