I'm actually really looking forward to the 18th coming out, I've read them all since the 16th Edition and have really enjoyed the story so far. Not sure how they can top 2015's brilliant Amendment 3 short story but I've heard the 18th is their longest book yet. Can't wait






On a serious note the only thing I like about the 18th is the colour of the front cover. Can't believe it's £95 too :mad: luckily I wasted £155 on an IET membership last year to get mine for the bargain price of £61... £155 a year well spent for a £34 saving.

Yay.
 
I ordered the 18th edition, on site guide and GN3 yesterday for the grand price of £128!! for all three books, had a choice between suppliers, so went with NAPIT as I havent read there code breakers eicr book they were giving away with it (its 17th ed so shifting leftover stock for free?) the niceic were giving books away too but have read them.
Just got to wait for it to be delivered on release day now... I feel like a little kid at xmas!
 
I was reading the Professional Electrician on-line rag, the other day, their latest edition. There was a link on the 18th Edition, from a company that sells earth rods etc. They were rubbing their hands about us having to install earth rods everywhere, 'cos its in the forthcoming 18th.

Someone is either gonna have a lot of extra work, or some company gonna have a lot of scrap copper on their hands :)
 
The supply authority will never allow multiple earth rods, it will compromise the supply system. The wiring "regs" have no jurisdiction over supply matters.

Why would they not, and how will it compromise the supply system?

Main bonding to structural steelwork, metal pipes and lightning protection is already acting as an earth rod connected in this way in many installations.
