Is this earth electrode a genuine, made-for-the-job earth rod, or is it something improvised? With the 2 nuts clamping the earthing conductor, it's different to anything I've seen before, though I don't come across TT installations often. As you can see, it's very corroded, and returns a Ze of...
Hi,
Firstly, sorry if this post is in the wrong sub-forum group; if it is please advise where to place this thread.
