no is the answer .what type of fitting are installed ,are they luva type then if so they will be earthed any way ,but if they are led then they will not have a earth.suspended ceiling installed throughout our new offices it’s all metal grid.
just fitted 26 600 x 600 LED panels in ceiling grid. all panels were earthed. the distorted grid required hammers and pry bars to get the buggers in though. that's a different story.no is the answer .what type of fitting are installed ,are they luva type then if so they will be earthed any way ,but if they are led then they will not have a earth.
Not in most cases, but giving it a test to prove it would be a good idea.
Personally I’ve never needed to bond one but if you did do you have to make up flying leads? I ask because the way most of them are constructed surely cannot be electrically sound? The slots were never designed to pass current of any sort or provide good continuity, so surely all of the main rails would require a fly lead to each other and all of the cross rails would also require fly leads into the main rails, should it be determined that bonding was necessary
Test it and you know. Don’t know why bonding vs earthing causes so many issues
Why is it stupid?Talking to a new bloke today that said
"This might be a stupid question "
I said straightaway " No such thing as a stupid question "
He immediately says
" Do you like sausages?"
