Discuss Borrowed CPC for water bonding in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Reaction score

I've come across a house whereby the redundant immersion heater circuit (15A) has had it's CPC repurposed as a means of bonding the incoming water supply in the same cupboard. Irrespective of the CPC being undersized is this, in theory, allowed or must the earth bonding be clearly identifiable? Of course, this would make sense as you don't want someone disconnecting an old circuit and taking out the bond. Is there a specific reg at play here?

Thanks
 
the bonding conuctor for the water should go directly back to the MET either in the Cu earth bar or a separate MET, if the esrthing is PME the min. size is 10.mm
