Playing with Earth

[Mike Reed]

Thanks for that, Ali, and yes, I do have individual 32amp RCBOs on all 8 of my dedicated radial circuits.

Not all, though, of my domestic rings' sockets are protected by RCDs, as far as I can remember (too many building alterations).

Think I can just cope with doing an earth spike without an electrician after installing the audio circuits and current spike! Had a lecky to do the final flourishes, of course.

I do need to know WHAT to look for in order to ascertain my bonding situation, though.

Well the pipework in the house will be bonded to earth somewhere,or perhaps take an earth back to the earth point at your dist. board.Use at least a 10mm squared size cable.Tri-rated would be best.
