Cross sectional area of a protective conductors

Can someone give me a some advice on if we have a earth electrode system made up of the structural rebar when using the adiabatic equation to size of the bonding conductor comes out at 300mm. MY questions is does each bond need to be this size or can it be made up via a series of smaller bonds that are equal or exceed the 300mm requirement? My opinion is each bond needs to be this size to deal with the fault current as the direction it will flow is unknown. What are peoples thoughts? I cannot see anything in the regs on this.

    Not me Lyle - I actually find it difficult explaining technical aspects generally


    I have never had a natural grasp of breaking down the ideas into simpler aspects to explain to people - which is a bit of a failing for engineers, actually - it's something I've had to learn to do, as well as conquering my fear of actually presenting stuff to non technical audiences.


    As I like to mutter, Consulting engineering is a great career for me, as long as I don't have to talk to the bloody managers, accountants and clients


    Mike's yer man for explanations in my opinion
