Supplementary bonding?

[odawire]

Met someone the other day, he told me he was a lecturer teaching electrical installation at the local collage, he said that if you have main water and gas bonded you don't need any supplementary bonding regardless of whether you have RCD protection or not. I didn't want to argue with him too much as he is a teacher but I was pretty sure that it only applies if all circuits are RCD protected? Is this some new rule I've missed?

Aye, well ................. those who can - DO

Those who can't - TEACH

A famous quote which is a load of tosh. I teach classical guitar to diploma level, and can play better than any of my students...

What I know is Supplementary Bonding is making use of thinner cable to connect all possible pipes(circuits) in a particular area. The area is typically a bathroom or a room with shower. Sometimes no supplementary bonding required in the bathroom when all the pipes are plastic. This kind of electric installation will probably shows the lecturer point of view.In this case supplementary bonding would not be required.

You seem to have completely missed what the original statement from this "teacher" was.

I actually agree with you.

I used to teach engineering to apprentices and engineering was something I was quite good at, but there were two other "instructors" at the same company who quite frankly were in the wrong job.

As with everything mate (teachers included), there are good and bad.
