[QUOTE="Oldgrump, post: 506652, member: 33547"] Hi, new to the forum and a relative novice with electricals. We live in a rented house with an external gas meter and the earth bond for it was installed by a gas engineer (sometime before we moved in) after a safety check as he wasn't happy that it wasn't earth bonded. He seems to have ran the earth cable pretty much around half of the downstairs before connecting it to the control board and I'm wondering if I can disconnect the cable from the meter in order to re-route it to make it easier to hide and protect it from possible damage. If so would I need to do anything to provide an earth to the meter for the length of time it takes to run the re-route! (I'd expect about 15 mins as I'd do as much prep work for the job as poss before disconnection.) Thanks in advance for any answers you can give. [/QUOTE]
