New 18th edition regs

[netblindpaul]

Yet they are "published" by the IET .............. so they need to be held accountable ....................

The Bible is more coherent than BS 7671

Jointly with BSI, and the IET only have the contract to manage JPEL/64, they lost control when it became a BS...

I'm actually really looking forward to the 18th coming out, I've read them all since the 16th Edition and have really enjoyed the story so far. Not sure how they can top 2015's brilliant Amendment 3 short story but I've heard the 18th is their longest book yet. Can't wait






On a serious note the only thing I like about the 18th is the colour of the front cover. Can't believe it's £95 too luckily I wasted £155 on an IET membership last year to get mine for the bargain price of £61... £155 a year well spent for a £34 saving.

Yay.

The choice of the definition of the initials is your decision Murdoch, I wouldn't try and say what they were meant to be!...

Putting earth rods everywhere isn't going to make the 18th, it'll be in the 1st Amendment in 2021 so I hear.

I was reading the Professional Electrician on-line rag, the other day, their latest edition. There was a link on the 18th Edition, from a company that sells earth rods etc. They were rubbing their hands about us having to install earth rods everywhere, 'cos its in the forthcoming 18th.

Someone is either gonna have a lot of extra work, or some company gonna have a lot of scrap copper on their hands

The supply authority will never allow multiple earth rods, it will compromise the supply system. The wiring "regs" have no jurisdiction over supply matters.

Why would they not, and how will it compromise the supply system?

Main bonding to structural steelwork, metal pipes and lightning protection is already acting as an earth rod connected in this way in many installations.
