Hi all.
Following on from some research into the adiabatic equation, I realised that its ok using it to determine the main earthing size but I couldn't work out whether it gave me a size big enough to also support main bonding from it.
The scenario being if I were wanting to run a submain from my consumer unit in my house to a consumer unit in an outbuilding say which was to have a water service and i needed to have a main bonding conductor connected to the pipework, how could I calculate whether the earth in the submaim would be capable of providing the "main earth " and the "main bonding" combined.
Or am I just overthinking it, in that if the main earth is big enough then surely its big enough to accommodate the main bonding.
