Advise sought please.
Following advise from Breezer last week went to my local electrical shop to buy some earth cable and clamps to cross bond items in my new kitchen. The man in the shop said that the new regulations required all metallic objects (electrical and non-electrical to be cross bonded). I was only going to cross bond non-electrical items.
Which is correct - bonding all items?
If so why do you need to bond electrical items when they have their own earth?
Where do you attach the earth - I can't find any sort of lug on my new fridge or dish washer?
On metal pipework are there any rules as to where the clamps go (IE where the pipe enters the room, next to the appliance etc)?
