Is this correct??

[steptoe]

if I can be as pertinent to ask, at what stage of your career are you.?

you can PM me if you wish.

 

[the_mouse]

There are several links to them, throughout the forum, Mate.

there we go.

you can get them in DP versions too, but I prefer the SP versions myself,

BTW, Im quite proud of myself being able to find a link to something.

Forgive me lost here the link is for henley blocks, mainly used for splitting tails, i thought we were trying to get a large conductor in a small hole, or have i left myself wide open again?

Patch is a tell tale,,,,,,,, bad day explode

yes it is as you call henley block, why not just take all the MEBs and the EC out of the CU and put them into the ISCO.?

 

[Nicky Tesla]

Why not you say

Cos you still need a 16mm from the block to the DB and the terminal hole is still too small

 

[paul b b]

mouse, just do a Zs on a socket, you should be able to tell if its a TT from that, unless the ring is a total shocker, but you could always back it up by testing the coocker circuit aswell

he has a 16 mm in already just need to cut it in half and stick and earth block in and put bonding in there also. if possible

another thought would a crimped on lug work then screw through it on the the earth bar on the cu?

no you dont, unless there is a reg that I obviously dont know,

you need a 16mm earthing conductor to the MET, which you have now moved outside the CU to your henley/ISCO.

or another way of doing it which is probably even better,

good thinking batman.

 

[the_mouse]

The earthing conductor is 10mm not 16 if you look closer in first pic there are two 10mm going into suppliers cut out, one to the board the the is the gas bonding.

So thinking outside the box, if i changed the board would it be acceptable to cut these two 10mm and double them up in a Earth block and take a 16mm to the new board? then the main protective bonds to the new Earth block.

Ill try to get back to the property and carry out Ze and Zs, and post the results.

mouse

ps the homeowner is reluctant to have the job done because of price plus other issues need sorting so this is more for my experiance than anything else.

Tom - excellent post - "scoobed".

ive had to do this a few times. mostly on older boards that wont take a 10/16mm

 

[Nicky Tesla]

no you dont, unless there is a reg that I obviously dont know,you need a 16mm earthing conductor to the MET, which you have now moved outside the CU to your henley/ISCO.

you need to join the earth terminal in the DB to the MET. Do you think it acceptable to join with 1.0mm? No? Then what size and why?

I think it should still be 16mm to take all the power from a dead short at the DB but maybe it should just be the largest earth conductor size present on the earth terminal. I dont know for sure what do you think? :C

 

[Sidewinder]

One point with this discussion.

Not a complaint or having a go at anyone, and it is not till now have I thought of it!

IF the earth bar can't take a 10/16mm conductor, can it take the fault current that may ocurr?
