Max Ze for TT system

[Engineer54]

I think i can find the time to check my TT system Ra value, it's not as if i'm not home just for the one day like!! I'm sure i'm going to find a lot more maintenance issues that need attending too while home. It's always the same when a house is left unattended for long periods of time!! lol!!

Besides, 15 or so minutes to check the safety of an earthing system, isn't the end of the world, well not mine anyway!!

I can just imagine you Eng, the missus inside calling you outside "Sweetheart! The turkey needs carving!", "Just a minute dear, it's of upmost importance that I check the condition of my rod first!", "But you did that yesterday dear, and the day before... And the day before that as well?", "Erm, err, no dear, I don't think I did *chuckle chuckle*, what are you like hey dear? *whilst muttering to yourself>>>* crazy old bat, thinks I'm going senile! Tut".

15 mins to check your rods? Why?

I suppose you want your ra values.

You would have checked them before? Why don't you just plug in a metre into a socket and loop it, then do your rcd tests?

2 mins max. Which leaves you 13 mins dig your metre out.

He likes a laugh doesn't he
i think that's the difference between an engineer and a sparky though, we live in the real world.

Hi,

How do you PAT test an Earth Rod? Is it done in increments from 0 to 200 ohms?

Regards.

Just a visual will do

I think Eng will regret telling us all that the first thing he does on Christmas morning, even prior to opening his stocking from Santa, is to test his earth rod!

He must have very long legs.
It's what he gets every year, a bundle of 2.4m rods in his stocking.

And instead of a Christmas card, he gets a brand new Cal Cert for his Earth Tester.

Nah! E54s bark is worse than his bite lol, he is just a big ol' ----- cat lol

He won't be bothered about us p*** taking about his "rod measuring activities" ooer missus lol , whether over Christmas or not.

If you really want to make him bite, try telling him a 200 ohm rod is just as good as a sub 20 or less ohms one lol, better still a ''twig' is just as good as well
