Hi need some advice

could not prove earth continuity was satisfactory? as the tt stake was buried! looked could not find anywhere owners have never seen it either. I know there was an earth as removed bonding wires and got a result on earth loop test of 45.7 ohms but if you cant find it how do you prove its satisfactory? phoned registration company and he was helpful but went on about the rcd and o.1 of voltage means the rcd was tripping out satisfactorily, but he lost me really to be honest any help on this would be great

Speaking from a position of total ignorance, but at least i'm bumping it back up the board :eek:

If the rcds test ok does that not prove the earthing is ok ?
 
i guess if in doubt install another stake in a pit
or
if you are happy that the reading you have got is coming from a reliable point note it on the cirt
if its fairly easy (and its bound not to be!!) i would stick one in
 
Hi thanks for the replys, am getting customer to enquire about PME reistration just kept quoting the regs i told them i had no problem reading just waanted help in interpreting them anyways if no luck on Pme will fit new tt stake thanks again for your replies
