Hi everyone

I have just became a member as I didn't know this handy site existed before.

I have been an electrician for ten years now and today for the first time on a job I noticed a green cable attached to a radiator pipe.

I don't know what to do, can I remove it completely as it is now a water operated radiator not electric.

I am assuming it must have been electric before but has been converted.

Im stumped.

 
is it green, or green/yellow?

it may be a bond ,which at one time would have been normal on a wet radiator within a bathroom,

whether or not it is still required will depend on a lot of things, RCD protection for a SL etc,

 
I tested an RCD this morning with the toaster, somehow the "toast holder" had found its way into the element? :C the young man was most perturbed that Thomas the tank engine just disappeared. I must put in a circuit into the kitchen.

Which reminds me... The is an old 4mm bond in the kitchen and its green / yellow!

 
if you want to buy a few hundred metres of 4mm G/Y let me know, I have stacks of it left over from a job a few years ago,   :C

I'll prob end up weighing it in,

and , no Dave, I wont post it to you,,,,,,  ;)
