Steel conduit

[Buzz-light-bulb]

How's this for a means of earthing this steel conduit is acting as a tt arrangement, although brilliant ze readings, 6.41 ohms 34a. What do you all think to this.

Are you sure that's conduit?

The suppliers cables are installed within this containment, it's definitely not lead sheath

Looks like 1" conduit to me, not sure about the tt bit, does the conduit go underground? If so it'll no doubt be corroded as it's b/e, not a good idea at all!
How have you conducted your tests?

That BS951 looks like it’s on lead to me.

Novel way of doing the job if it is.

Just been thinking about this. At my Grandfathers farmhouse the electricity boards supply did enter the building as VIR’s in conduit. That was from the OH supply at the end of the building. It ran along the front of the house.

Not bad remembering that, I was seven when he died.

Yes the conduit goes into the ground, no way will I get a better Ze reading with a earth rod, just wondered if any1 else has come across this

Disconnect bond on that copper pipe and see what you get. lol Bet it won't be so good.

Doubt less than half a metre 16mm will make a massive difference lol

I stand by my last post no way is that conduit, just look at the tee off

 

[micknew]

Could be 'pin grip conduit'. Very old, haven't seen it for years.

[micknew]

Nah freakin gas pipe

Could well be.

 

[Buzz-light-bulb]

Gas pipe is next to it, mick new could be right

 

[nickblake]

Could have at least crimped the a lug to the earth cable

 

[ayjay]

I'm fully aware about the lug

Looks like 1" lug grip conduit to me, held to the wall with crampets. Can't see if the tee is an inspection type - it seems to have the outline of a cover. The stub above the tee seems to have a rubber female bush where cables used to exit.
