In order to get the values write in the being at the incoming what was the ohms and the ka.
Ovasly you have sub circuits to diffrant pitches ,the sub circuits are on bs60898 and you are testing each circuit ,but some how you are getting well beyond the max range .
Are the glands in good order or they
Are not earthed correctly.some how we are going round the caravan pictches if you know what i mean.

Well the panel feeding the sub circuits has Zs of 3.15 and KA of 3.0 but some of the circuits are ok and some are not but there are endless joints underneath the ground so can’t help and glands are ok

So the Zs of the sub circuit is 1.22 ohm, the Zs at the panel feeding these is 3.15 ohm?

Yes, at a guess paralel paths

 

[Bobster]

Yes, at a guess paralel paths

From where though?

From where though?

Supply goes in and out of gland plates?

you need to make proper arrangements with the client so you can turn the power off and then carry out all the necessary tests correctly.
You need to isolate each circuit, disconnect them from the MET and then test accordingly

 

[Bobster]

I'm out.

FFS ,hit your client over the head with the BBB and tell him either turn the power off for the pitches that dont comply with the reg or some body get else in.simples .
Me i would quote the elec act .

Then you've got a serious problem because a Zs of 3.15ohm should give a pfc around 76A at 240V, or a pfc of 3kA would come from a Zs of 0.8ohm.
I'll ask again, what test are you using, high current or anti trip?

S type RCD, simples.
