Hi,

I ordered a Fluke ES165X Earth Spike Test Kit yesterday, arrived this morning, has a go with it in the garden, popped a single 5/8 rod in and got 57 Ohms, im going to stack another two on top of it and see what I get after the weekend when the shop opens again as have no more rods!

The kit is quite good.

I thought I would get one as have a job in a week or so where I am going to be putting a few rods in to get a good reading and would like to put them in before I run the SWA down to it, so will be able to get my earth ready!

I am going to aim for sub 1 Ohm! Ill keep you posted on what happens with that. I won't give in until I get under an Ohm.

Well it doesn't hurt to TT it, it gives me a challenge, I may well be wrong but was under that impression, I did have a read of the iet documents on outbuildings etc, but it brings up extraneous metal more so.

the wiring, the customer is wanting it very tidy in the inside and doesn't particularly want to see conduit, so will be putting conduit on the outside where it's not going to be seen as he will be planting trees all round it.

so doing it in the outside, you will then just have the sockets. Should look good.

happy days, looks like a good job to get some pics for the website.
 
Just ensure it is not the old water pipe,which has what looks like an asbestos covering. This stuff is very fragile,and next to impossible to branch or join.

Always best to research a bit,before knocking a hole in an unknown pipe/duct...:yes:
