I have to install a TT Earth Rod on a rural new installation. Can some kind sparky please point me in the direct of a hire company that will hire out a tester? My old megger 1502 won't do this and as there is no power on site at the moment, I need a battery powered tester for Ze.
 
Is there not another local sparky who will tip out to do it for you for a few beer tokens? I can be bought for a couple of decent bottles of red but not as far away as Bognor!:)
 
The kewtech KT65 does earth rod testing, check if any of your mates have one of these MFT.
 
I had a similar job and bought a megger det3tc from ebay a while back and used it once! However I have got another job coming up in 2019 where I will use it again!
 
Hi Roly, yes mate, I have a similar problem but today I have found a local sparks who will test the earth rod (s) actually there are two 2M rods - for fifty quid so I'll probably go with this option. TT systems are a pain in the butt, however, because they are what they are, it's imperative to get it right. Thanks for the chat though...
 
The loop back to the star point on the transformer is through an earthing rod or rods. About 2 metres worth of copper beaten into the ground or tape etc.
