Hi all. I have noticed there are two schools of thought here when running a separate earth with a SWA to a large DB, where is the correct place to terminate the earth ? . We can go straight in to the internal copper earth bar as we have spare unnumbered holes for it , or we can lug it and go on the steel bolt post inside the DB,, Which is correct and why please peeps.
 
As long as the 2 options are well bonded to each other electrically I don’t think it makes a difference.
some installations will suit one way better than the other.
