Woopee it's a clamp. It's now in the right place.

But I am impressed I'm getting immeasurably small resistance readings
everywhere, including right back to the bathroom basin taps (0.04
Ohms) from the main earth terminal.




Is this ADS or EEBAD:-)?



The former now isn't it? Pretty sure it was EEBADS when I did my exam.

I'm not big on names, especially when they change just to mean the same
thing!


So here goes:

"Live wire, phase, earth bond, bulb, "

That should give a few people apoplexy ;-)


On a serious note -

I am very much against the continual changing of nomenclature for the
sake of it which we seem to get a lot of these days...

My water pipe has a main equipotential bond to the main earth terminal.
So we might as well say it's earth-bonded. 90% of regular people at
least know what that means. The other 10% would shove the wire into a
pot plant on the window cill.

"PIR" was easy to say. Does anyone ask for an "EICR"?


I was trying to find a numerous picture of the earth wire thing. But I
found this instead:

WTF? I did not know weed could do that (even superstrenghth weed).
