Hi guys,
I want to get a switch ready fo a new washing m/c, as our old one is finished.
The bonding is a puzzle to me- but I intend to run a bond earth wire to the washer direct from the cold copper pipe.
Also run a bond earth from this pipe to the double pole switch -(as this has no earth as it's fed with a two core wire- red and black- now that's going back !).
This is in case the new machine has a three core lead and might upset the installer guys.
Does this sound right. the machine will be in the leanto-veranda.
I'm thinking of terminating the bond wire early at the switch and uea a short flexible wire to ease switch access- all wires being flexible.
Thanks fo any replies
