The IET is carrying out some important updates between 17-30 April and all of our websites will be view only. For more information, read this Announcement
ProMbrooke:Zoomup:
I've long proposed discarding the emphasis/focal point of earthing and bonding and rather creating a new, third central pillar of source loop conduction theory, which rooted in admittance on the basis of protecting life and property rather than having earth electrodes and connecting metal things to one another.What is "source loop conduction?". How does it work? Or is it just something that The Dr. and Rose Tyler would come across?
B.S. 7671 already covers safety of installations.
Reg. 131.1 "...intended to provide for the safety of persons, livestock and property against dangers and damage which may arise in the reasonable use of electrical equipment."
Z.
Source loop conduction is the idea that high admittance between the line and CPC/metal work at any point that a fault is capable of occuring can trigger disconnection of the over current device rapidly enough to prevent physiological harm and fire to the property.
Basically a more evolved theory of ADS.
I know BS7671 covers protection of life and property.
I'll stick with the approved, tried and tested systems in place at present thanks, not some unproven, unconvincing and unworkable "theory".
