Supplementary equipotential bonding in group 2 medical locations

Hi All,

I'm new here and a trainee electrical engineer. 


I am looking for pointers on how to calculate the CSA of equipotential bonding conductors in group 2 medical locations.


Having worked on site, I know that as a standard we use 4/6mm to allow us to stay within the 0.2Ohms resistance but would like to know the theory behind it so I can include this calc in my designs to prove where the result have come from when or if ever questioned.


Thanks,

    Thanks for that.


    As a standard where I am training we use 6mm for group 2 bonding conductors, they're wanting to know a how far a 6mm can get to stay below the 0.2 requirement, so I am kind of trying to figure out the length at the same time so I am just trying different numbers.
