How do yo install electrodes?
Let me know 👇🏻
No need for fancy intros….
No sponsorship….
Everything you see i have purchased myself, this gives me complete control to voice my honest opinion about any product
I’m not trying to create fancy, new & exciting content…
Just day to day sparky videos
If you like it, that’s cool, if you don’t, that’s cool as well.
Remember, context is important, I can’t show/film every part of every test otherwise I’d still be there now😂just assume I’ve carried it out correctly

Great vid and big thanks from our team for the mention. We're glad the Earth Rod Pro works great for you 😊👍

[@bristolsparky]

No problem 👍

[@Andrew-su3wt]

I always use a lightning protection firm for my earth rods / tapes / consistent low readings for generator / caravans / TT etc and relatively inexpensive, they did a caravan park with all the gear cheaper than I could buy the gear! Certificated and risk free

[@bristolsparky]

Thanks for sharing

[@O.i5]

What tests was you doing on the rod, a trip test? Could you explain what your looking for in thus test and why not do a ze test instead?, im an apprentice just trying to learn

[@bristolsparky]

I was kind of doing a Ze, I was talking about tripping because there was an RCD upstream

[@merlin5476]

What is the maximum impedance you would allow in this situation ?

[@bristolsparky]

It's recommended to be below 200 ohms but really It can be up to 1667ohms

[@ab12935]

Where can I get the bit for drill?

[@bristolsparky]

Any decent wholesalers or online

[@samingham7363]

Why not use PME in outbuilding? It’s timer frame?

[@bristolsparky]

Due to other services

[@samingham7363]

Is it not a plastic incoming water supply? Assume there’s gas?

[@bristolsparky]

@@samingham7363 yes its plastic, but other services are present

[@declang565]

Good low reading , but what about on a dry day ?

[@bristolsparky]

What would you do with the result?....

[@joshuamyatt6979]

is that water pipe there to wet it before doing Ze ;)

[@bristolsparky]

No need, reading was ace!!😎😎

[@joshuamyatt6979]

@bristolsparky how do you rate those joker spanners, seen mixed reviews

[@bristolsparky]

@ absolutely love them, I’ve got the small and medium for the majority of sparky nuts & bolts

[@chrisdobbo8938]

Looks well below finished floor level there, maybe just the camera angle but it looks about 6 inches off the finishing breeze

[@bristolsparky]

Camera angle, I checked and double checked

[@chrisdobbo8938]

@ is that what that length of tray was for hah

[@bristolsparky]

@@chrisdobbo8938 that was just a scrap piece of tray i used as a seat so I didn’t get wet & dirty arse!

Why not divorce / terminate / PME in plastic enclosure on outside of remote building ,, and pass L & N conductors through wall straight into C U ,, rear entry . / just a thought

[@bristolsparky]

Suuuuuurely if given the option you'd always make a joint inside rather than outside....

[@tonywatson1412]

Got ya....but you dont want the PME to continue into the building ...where the arrangement will be T T ...​@bristolsparky

[@bristolsparky]

@ the PME is isolated & warning labelled

@@tonywatson14122core swa into the shed and terminate armouring into pvc adaptable box inside. The armouring is not being used as a cpc, only connected house end in the event someone somehow cuts into the cable so cable is protected.

My mistake @ 14 seconds , i misheard , thought he said divorced ( at house end ) Played it back there / he actually said divorced ( from house end ) ...subtle difference ...My mistake ...cheers ​@@sbmorris2k6
