Contractor is proposing that they remove this interlinking earth cable between bars, and take a bond directly from the new switchboard earth bar to the new earth bar in the room.
Does the contractor consider that the existing combined earthing/bonding cable is too small for its functions? Why not ask the contractor for his reasons?
Does 312.2.1.1 Fig 3.8 help? The protective conductor (PE) normally carries very small currents in comparison with normal load currents, but may carry high currents during fault conditions.
