Hi chaps
A client has asked me to fit a new CU It wasn't convenient at that moment to have the power off for IR check on existing wiring so I checked the loops on the rings - so far so good. Methinks I'll just have a look at the bonding while I'm here.
the water enters the house behind some pine paneling which then has the sink unit built on in front. I looked in the cupboard underneath where I found a hole, big enough to put your hand in to work the stopcock - no way I could see anything. I then took wander lead from the stopcock to the MET and got a reading of 0.03 ohms
I got the same reading from the metal casing of the boiler although there is no bonding on the incoming oil.
Do I need to take the sink unit out and take off the panneling to get a 10mm
earth to the source of Oil and water.
or is there any leeway in the regs?
