Earthing Stainless kitchen tables/sinks?

[mayfair]

Null is Null should be able to make any resistive lead null

just had a look it seems fluke dont do one. do testers NULL these extra long leads? or do you have to subtract from your readings cheers

Agreed, the value shouldn't matter.

I think our site sponsor Test Meters, Electrical Testing Equipment & Measurement Instruments will do a decent R2 wander lead.

they do. they got one clips on your belt.

i had metal framed bench which had sockets installed on them and there was cables running over the metal work and had electrical equiptment all over the benches so i supplementry bondes the benches to the socket circuits.

now this may not be a reg but its on my head if the frame become live and didnt opperate the circuit breaker.

so my advice would be dont look for regs etc its up to you use your experience to tell you what is safe or not, and weather you will be able to sleep at night.

This thread demonstrates that 'experience' is not what dictates the answer to the 'bond or not bond' question.

Then you get the 'if in doubt bond it' guys who have no idea of distributed touch voltages in fault conditions.

Please use the proscribed procedures to determine bonding requirements, it's pretty simple stuff!

Thats not bonding though....it's earthing.

Guidance Note 8 should be compulsory reading.

had the same argument a few weeks ago. the suit said all the tables had to be bonded. i handed him my brb( which just happened to be in the van following a previous discussion ) and told him to point me to the relevant regulation.

My answer would have been the same with the exception of asking him if he was electrically qualified when he answered NO, my answer would be well I'm not a qualified health officer either so we should stick to what we know best then.

this highlights the danger of people with Little knowlage can be worse than people with none EHOs Planning Fire officers ect ect all have little knowlage of electrical instals but interpriat differently and take one reg right out of context

Yes and normally with anything to do with earthing and bonding!
