Zone 1.

Zoomup

After an N.I.C.E.I.C E.I.C.R. report I attended to see about some remedial work.

The house is TN-S supplied with a Ze of 0.64 Ohms. The main earthing conductor just pulled out when I tugged on it in the presence of the homeowner. Not good.

Anyway, in the bathroom is a cast iron bath tub. Immediately above it is a chrome finish spot light bar, reported to be suitable for zone 1 use. I do not know if it is a Class 1 or 2 fitting at this stage, but the owner will give me details later on.

A person standing in the bath tub can easily touch the metal luminaire as it is very low, mounted on a wooden beam.

Would you bond it to the bath tub pipework?

 

Z.

    What is connected to the tub? If it's all plastic pipes, in and out; I don't think that you need to worry because it isn't an extraneous CP.

    In fact, I don't think that the material of the tub matters: it's the taps which count.
