TT system Ze is 17.5 ohms but when connected it is 0.60 ohms? Have one outgoing 95mm SWA and one 240mm SWA earthed either end and individual rods?
Thanks
 
parallel paths via bonding and/or the other rods.
 
What is the means of earth fault protection to the SWA's?

It’s an overhead 3 phase supply, looking at the electric board cut out there’s no earth there eg TNS or PME, but at the other end of the tails connected to a DB there’s an earth there, tested that at 17.5 ohms and connected in parallel with all other DBs and it’s 0.60 ohms, then my highest sub circuit is about 1.57 ohms
 
Just a thought, is the earth into the DB of sufficient section?
