BAS,
Thanks for the reply it helps a lot but i am with you until your last sentence
Also, don't forget that the cpcs themselves can be part of the bonding, so it isn't necessary to connect directly to the cpc terminal on each appliance
I am probably being thick but i cant follow that, could you give a verbal illustration..
All that bonding does is to reduce the resistance between parts of an installation.
This can be achieved by using separate conductors, or by existing, permanent reliable conductive parts such as pipework, cable armour, CPCs, etc (Reg 544.2.4)
Reg 415.2.2 gives a method for determining whether you actually need to use supplementary conductors.
