    Just started to test a TT system, so found the earth and thought that cannot be it for the size of the house. (See pic).

    Does a TT Earth 0.13Ohms require a 100mA incomer?

    Had an interesting one this week, customer assures me he's on TT, DNO days the same but i'm getting 0.13Ohms on the Ze, never seen it that low befor. There's no 100mA RCD on the supply and it doesn't look as if there's ever been one, so with that reading i'd assumed it was a TN system... so my...
