earthing

[niel]

is it ok to earth a cooker without using a sleeve over earth as the back of cooker is earthed anyway?

 

[davy_owen_88]

No, all bare earth conductors require insulating with a green and yellow sleeve.

 

[Qedelec]

The purpose of the green/yellow sleeving is for identification purposes, do you think it should be identified?
Regulations require all cables to be adequately identified.

 

[niel]

but is it dangerous if not done as back of cooker is earthed any way?

 

[Spark123]

It is a departure from BS7671 regs - don't know what you work to?, Without seeing it, it is impossible to say if it is dangerous or not.

 

[davy_owen_88]

Whether it makes the installation dangerous or not is irrelevant - ALL bare earth conductors require a green & yellow sleeve.. You can get 10m of sleeving for a pound so it's not going to break the bank.

Here in ireland we have to sleeve all conductors.If your stuck stick a bit of green/yellow tape around the earth

Would anyone do this if they were badly stuck for sleeving

No problem with using G/Y tape
