[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 478709, member: 6969"] Have you ever been in a house with a failed PEN on the PME supply? I have once, It was really weird, nothing seemed to be live, yet everything must have floated up to pretty much L potential. The Faraday cage effect. That was in an old house with all solid copper pipe and earth bonding in place. Now how would that have been if the in coming water main had a plastic section and so was deemed not to be extraneous and not need bonding? Would YOU be happy that the pipework could now end up at a different potential to everything else? Say the unbonded copper pipe was sitting in a puddle under the floor? [/QUOTE]
