No, but im interseted in how you were thinking of connecting it up?
Cheers
Surely an earth resistance tester (the one with the long wires and the T spikes) would be better unless the area around the rod(s) is built up or paved.
I would say very much so! But you'd have to know what was required from the testing procedure....
That I why I asked for a discussion, there is so much conflicting information out there. I am currently trying to working my way through Megger's "Down to Earth", and thought a discussion may help.I have only had small involvement in lightning protection, but when I have the requirement was <10ohms to earth from any point on the installation/ <10 ohms from the highest point to earth.
Not an electrode resistance of <10 ohms to earth.

I mentioned to an old hand what I was looking at and he told me remembered doing this with a loop tester.

This particular installation is a Church surrounded by a tarmacked car park.
Also, to prevent theft of he copper rod, the electrode is contained in a steel tube to a height of approximately 4M.
