Does anybody know if that conflicts with any gas regulations?

This was in the draft version, but in that article is just glossed over without even suggesting what the regulations say: 'Two new regulations (542.2.3 and 542.2.8) have been introduced concerning earth electrodes.'

In the draft, they required an earth electrode on all TN installations - the vast majority of such installations currently do not have one.

They might have one in the form of incoming metal service pipes....

I wont do a course unless the company pays, more likely be a 1 day course, was just pointing out the cost of the course, just seems to be all about money and as chiver says all you do is get taught to pass, theres no real teaching.
I knew my tutor at the 17th and less than a year before he knew less than most of this forums members

Isn't the course for (new) people who don't have the 17th 'qualification' already?

 

[securespark]

I seem to remember when I went for the 17th update exam, there was a short paper and a long one.

I read wiring matters, not as cut and dried as reported else where. But as far as pipes go there is a real danger bonding a gas pipe, if due to bonding high currents pass through the pipe then it could melt the pipe and also ignite the gas. So with a TN-C-S installation one has to be very careful with any bonding, as yet it seems uncertain how it will be worded.

Does anybody care what the gas pipe benders think?
