Clearly presented handy reference on earthing and bonding - Rated
Earthing and bonding are obviously critical parts of an electrical installation.

This spiral-bound book briefly covers the definitions of earthing and bonding, and then proceeds to illustrate 50 practical examples which do not comply with the IEE 16th edition regulations, together with the correct method.

The examples include:
- dealing with inadequately earthed installations;
- whether supplementary equipotential bonding is required;
- earthing of conduit, armoured cable etc;
- preventing corrosion of bonding connections;
- bonding in a block of flats;
- etc...

Pointers to the relevant IEE regulations are provided where necessary.

I bought this book while studying for the City and Guilds 2381 exam, and it's the clearest book I found on the subject - the illustrations and text are a cut above most of the other books on the Wiring Regs - easy for a novice to understand, but perhaps a useful "handy reference" even for the more experienced contactor. I hope "Part 2" is as good!
