Finishing off my central heating installation and I’m now looking at earth bonding. Looks like we have a PME system. I’ve been reading a few horror stories about (unnecessary) earth bonding causing dangerous situations on PME systems.
I’ve not found any earth bonding on any pipework in the house but believe there must be something somewhere as my meter is showing continuity between the earth terminal in the consumer unit and my new central heating pipework. I’m guessing it could all be earthed via the immersion in the cylinder!
My plan is to run 10mm earth cable from the consumer unit to under th boiler and bond each pipe there as this is within 600mm of the oil pipes (two pipe system) coming into the house.
Any thoughts?
Cheers
