Could Regulation 7.2.2.4 as quoted above only refer to: (Circuits for Pools, Spas and Fountains)?Originally Posted by Sparks
If we go back to reg 6.16.5.2:
6.16.5.2 Submersible motors and motors liable to flooding
NOTE See 7.2.4.4 for pump motors used in pools, spas and fountains.
Reg 6.16.5.2 deals exclusively with "Submersible Borehole Motor": (and makes no reference for Earth Leakage Protection)
6.16.5.2.2 Conductive parts associated with a water pump (such as the
suction pipe, the delivery pipe and the pump casing) shall be bonded to the
earth continuity conductor. In the case of a submersible borehole motor, the
bonding to the delivery pipe shall be made above ground and within 300 mm
of the collar that supports the pipe.
Just another perspective from my understanding, and of course i could be wrong.
