HI, I am an industrial maintenance electrician. A friend who does not live in my area has asked me a question can anyone please advise. He has had an electrician replace his consumer unit. It is a TT system. The electrician has installed the earth rod under the floorboards by the new consumer unit and there is no RCD fitted to the supply. He has not recieved the test cert. yet so I don't know what the readings are. I am going down to see him next week so I wanted to make sure I have all the correct information. Am I correct in thinking that as the supply has no RCD the rod should be measured with an earth electrode resistant tester and 2 test spikes and looking for a reading less than 200OHMs. Ideally I think an RCD shoul be installed, can you advise what size.
Cheers
