I love the test kit.

After watching that I'm not surprised they still have a low life expectancy.

well, there you go ... did they establish a Ra / Ze?

Sadly, that is probably better than a lot of TT electrodes I see round my parts

I was mainly thinking of when a 4ft 3/8" rod is bashed into a pile of broken bricks and loose debris under the floor in the understairs cupboard, 2ft left sticking out the ground, and wobbles if you breathe near it. At least they use 16mm cable to connect to it though

I'd sooner use a well buried chunky bit of pipe that that any day ...

Used to find a lot of Re-bar Earth rods a few years back, connected with an EC 14/15. Earth wire could be anything from 4mm up.
