What size is the main bonding? What size is the minimum earthing conductor for a 60A service?

Changed to what and why?

 

[deanmac]

the bonding was 10mm i thought the minimum was 10mm for the main earth pme

he is yes but everyone are always learning in the electrical game

I'm just going to say what everyone is thinking.....
If he doesn't know he shouldn't be doing EICR's.
As simple as that!
It's a very basic question.
