Discuss Am2 exam question bonding cable tray/ metal trunking? in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
You are not required to bond the cable tray that is already pre-installed for you during the AM2.
Metal trunking will generally require an earth if it contains low voltage circuits with continuity to the MET but not necessarily a direct connection to it. Cable tray does not however this is highly debated and you should do some research to enforce your actions if you decide to or not.
So I wont loose any marks if the metal trunking or cable tray is not bonded. I thought though thay any exposed metal part than can become live under fault conditions and easy touched is supposed to be bonded? Or im I wrong?
Not required on the AM2.
All containment it already in place for am2 no need to touch any of it
Here you go.Just curious have you sat your AM2 exam ? If so you got any hints and tips on passing?
There is no requirement on the AM2 to carry out any bonding of the pre-installed containment/tray etc. Unless the assessor syas otherwise, don't bond it.I underatand that the containment systems are already in place but, surely that means I can still bond it to the MET etc. Surely I wont just leave it?
you don't bond trunking, you earth it as it is an exposed metal part and may or may not form part or all of the cps/s for the circuit/s within. tray normally carries sheathe cables and as such would only need bonding if it were extraneous.[/QUO
Why?Said before Ian you will get in trouble doing that
