THE IMPOSSIBLE FAULT FIND - Electrician Life
Join Cory & Reuben as they finish up the consumer unit and try to find several faults, one of which is seemingly impossible to trace. Reuben installs his first electric vehicle charging point all by himself, and Cory narrowly escapes being killed by wasps.

1st thing bonding, those additional bonding cable maybe going to cast iron stack pipes that have now be replaced but the bonding has be left in place , by the age of that house suggest it did have cast iron stack pipes in the past , 2nd was that second consumer unit fed from an RCBO ? it should be fed from an MCB . Because and RCD fed from an other "RCD" upstream should have a tripping current 3 times of the RCD downstream .

@elco_os9355 3 года назад

In The Netherlands we use extra bonding in the bathroom. There we connect together the water pipes, drains, bath tub and even the concrete floor. This ensures that even when both the RCD and main earth fails, and someting de bathrooms fails and becomes live, at least every metal object is at the same voltage, so you won't die. maybe they did something like this here also?

@TeamSimpsonRacing 3 года назад

We used to do that and its called supplementary bonding. Its not a requirement now in the UK if there is RCD protection

@elco_os9355 3 года назад

In the Netherlands it is always required. There have been accidents in the past of where people got shocked because their neighbours below did a bad DIY job and their bathroom floor became live. When they then touched a grounded tap, they got elektrocuted. I guess this is also why additional bonding is required here. You simply cannot assume that your neighbours didn't mess up their wiring. Especially here where everyone is allowed to DIY their own electrics.

@sdgelectronics 3 года назад

@@elco_os9355 Bonding wouldn't help in that situation, in fact it would make it worse.

@elco_os9355 3 года назад

@@sdgelectronics there should be also a earthing mat inside the bathroom floor as well. So the floor, the tap and other metal stuff like bath tub and heater are at bonded together and therefor are always at the same potential. So standing on the floor with wet feet and also touching a tap should then never get you elektrocuted since there cannot be a potential difference.

I completely agree with Cory's theory behind disconnecting the sup bonds. A few years ago, I don't remember when I think it was during the 17th so around 2012 a woman had a fault on an electric shower while using it, standing in a steel bath that was bonded. There was less resistance on the bond to the bath as it was 6mm cable than in the 4mm earth in the T&E to the shower and she died.

My thought on supplementary bonding is if there is a metal object that might end up getting in contact with a wire then it would cause an instant trip rather than becoming hot. Are used to be required to attach plumbing to the electrical system in the US but I think that's fading out now that most municipalities are using plastic incomers and most plumbing is not copper in the house. Which leaves me in a house with unbonded copper piping that makes me go should I or should I not?

This cable run through the structure, potentially through the cavity, is not good practice. Cables need to be properly supported and protected along their run, and identifiable, in that they need to run within prescribed zones, unless they are clipped direct on the surface, on carried within another containment on the surface of the structure, even if it is SWA cable. The cable fault could be due to a myriad of reasons - abandoning it as a lost cause is the best outcome.

@tylercarter9228 3 года назад

You probably know this but I’m going to say it for other as well, if you see a plastic incomer just don’t assume that you don’t need bonding, if the pipe re enters the ground else where it will need bonding still you can test this by testing between the Incoming earth at cut out (with all bonding and main earth disconnected ) and the pipework your testing with IR test and your looking for a resistance greater than 0.02 mega ohms. This will not need bonding anything lower will need bonding as you have proven it has a strong enough path to earth. Anyone who has an opinion on this I’d love to hear as this is my interpretation of guidance note 8. Cheers !
