Hi all, Iv'e spent some time reading through old posts to find the correct answer to my question but I'm still a little unsure...
I'm suppling a db into a garage from domestic supply within a cottage. The garage is 3m away from cottage. The cottage supply is pme.
There's a 17th edition split load board in place with spare ways to utilise. I have some 10mm swa 3 core made available to me for nothing so intend to use it even though it's a bit over sized for the load requirements. So pressumebly ... I can install a db in the garage without an additional rcd as it's fed from a rcd protected circuit within the cottage. There is going to be a copper water pipe in the garage fed through a plastic pipe from the cottage but will then continue with copper to a toilet and tap. So do I need to bring a separate bonding conductor from the met ( in the meter box ), or the earth bar in the fuse board?
Alternatively can I use the 3rd core of the swa as a bonding conductor? If so does that need to be kept separate from the earth I take from the swa gland to the garage db ?
