Hello all,
I've just installed the wiring for a new electric shower and run the cable to the consumer unit (CU). I've done the same with the supplemental earth bonding, but the cable is a few metres too short and doesn't quite make the CU! There is, I've noticed, another chunky earth cable running parallel to my new earth cable at the point where it runs out, and I wondered whether it's acceptable to join the two cables together with a junction box, rather than join a few metres additional cable to the end of the short one.
Any views would be appreciated.
Andy
