Hi all got a look at a friends db in his old flat at first it appeared to have no earths at all but I wonder if it is using the conduit as earth. No green/yellow in board or circuits.
Is there any way of identifying this.

How do you do an earth bond test for these? I have re read the IEE code of practice on this but I can't find an answer apart form: "...can give misleading results"

Something I have not come across before and was hoping someone could point me n the right direction. My mother inlaw wants me to put up a light in her Kitchen. The fitting needs to be earthed but there is no main earth in the light circuit. How do I do...
