Hi, went to have a look at a job today, customer has had gas supply company out (for another issue) and they have commented that the protective bonding conductor is the the wrong place and needs to be altered.
So gas meter is internal to property, on consumer side, about 200mm of pipework...
Hi, searched but still niggling problem need help on...
Installation: -
4mm earth to earthing electrode (rod) Ra 42ohm
Zdb 33ohm
1361 60A main fuse
16mm tails
cant get acceptable result for using adiabatic as disconnection time too high (higher than 5 secs with that Zs reading)
no frontline RCD...
Hey guys and gals.
We bought a small office trailer that is wired up. It's never seen mains power and uses a generator disconnect (220). I read up on the myriad of code situations for bonding and then grounding, neutral switching etc. and came to the conclusion this would fall under separately...
Probably a basic question
In an installation with pipework or cable ladder that's not extraneous as such but is connected to earthed metal
What's the logic for not main bonding it as the metalwork can surely introduce a potential in a fault situation?
Did a eicr on a upstairs flat, there is 1 main bonding cable from the consumer unit, the gas pipe comes from the gas meter outside and up the wall and straight through the loft to the other side of the flat and down to the boiler. the gas bonding goes out the db and up to the loft then across...
This is a question (or discussion probably) regarding selecting the main earthing conductor, and subsequently the main equipotential bonding conductor sizes in a TNCS installation. We are fitting a replacement consumer unit only.
The property currently has 4mm bonding cable installed to gas and...
Need some help please. Got a brain teaser for my first post. My pool pump motor cratered over 4th of July. It was working fine and started to sound like it had gravel in it. I turned it off at the timer to backwash and the breaker tripped. She was locked up. Since it was 8 years old I took it to...
Hi all, is it acceptable or was it in previous regs if not anymore? To take the gas bond straight off the TNS connection shared with main Earth? See pic.
Thanks

Im an apprentice spark and have been sent to look at some bonding work at a restaurant as apparently staff have occasionally been getting shocks when they touch across metal counters. The bonding has been cut in some parts but when i trace it back rather then going to the 3 phase board it has...
Good afternoon one and all. I, like many non-electricians are having issues regarding the need to have domestic water pipes (plastic entry to the property) bonded prior to an EV charger being installed. I have read a number of articles on this forum which quickly leave me behind with the...
hi there
as i write this i realise i have 3 interconnected questions about fused switches; two relating to my boiler (hope its not to cheeky to ask 3 questions all in one go :-) )
Question1:
i have a radial circuit 1.5mm cable on a 6amp fuse from my consumer unit straight to the boiler where...
Just want to know everyone’s approach to testing bonding within houses. I do a lot of EICRs, and I would say more times than not I can never get access to the water bond as the stopcock isn’t accessible. Now in this instance what I’ve been taught since my times been out is to test at any exposed...
Hope i find someone who can help me with this one. I have this question on an exam:
A continuity test on a protective bonding conductor gives a result of 15ohms. What possible reasons for the result and what actions (if any) that should be taken?
My answers where:
-wrong size conductor shows...
is it okay to bond the gas and water at the boiler?? Gas meter is tricky to get to, was going to just take a 10mm to water pipe at boiler and just loop across to gas supply at the boiler
The earth bonding cable has been daisy chained to 3 gas meters (the conductor has been cut at each earth strap). Is this satisfactory?, will it pass an inspection ok ?
Hello! I am in the planning stages of a new dwelling construction. The foundation will be a monolithic cement pad with rebar. Based on my research, I am fairly certain that I need to ground the rebar within the slab. The slab will have rigid insulation under it and will have a vapor barrier...
Hi,
Our cooker is LPG, fitted on the inside of an outside wall if that makes sense. The gas pipe runs internally then through the wall to the regulator and changeover unit mounted outside, around 4' off the ground. The pipe doesn't go underground at any point.
My understanding is that it...
Does a copper gas pipe, coming into the house require bonding when the pipe is being supplied by propane cylinders, via rubber hose.
Doesn’t go underground at any point.
The water pipe is bonded, and therefore connected to gas at the boiler, which is at the point of entry of the gas…. Can’t...
