Full rcbo boards????

Just how big was that fish again ?
You've beaten my record (6.x Ohms) that's for sure !

The rod was on the other side of the cabin wall if it makes you feel better literally a 4meter run max. That's going down the wall too 1M rod? Wholesalers forgot our spike though so that was fun.

What method did you use to test the rod?

I got a Ra of 4 ohms the other day tho I used the structural steel as the electrode.
All bolted together about 10 lengths of steel into the foundations.

I know the kqi Schneider rcbo instructions tell you not to bundle the neutrals together but can cut to length.
They recommend if the functional earth is cut then a bootlace is fitted due to crushing of the fine strands when tightend in the terminals

Temporary supply mate, might be in a month max. Probably try blag the company to give him the cable and gear back since they won't use it did on the last tempory supply we did haha

Boss does the testing, I took a Zs at the board after I finished. That's what I was referencing

Well you were saying not to bundle them which I did in this instance

Oh yeah my mistake.
I'm just mentioning Schneiders instructions.
Overheating of the neutral was the reason they give me.

Wonder if it actually makes a difference or it's just them putting their tin hats on.

Duely noted though.

Does your boss not include you in the testing process? Did you see him set up temporary electrodes and test the earth rod at any point in time?

Your Zs measurement almost certainly did not include the earth rod. You will have been testing via the cpc straight back to the star point via the N-E link at the generator

With a generator fed installation the earth electrode is the earth reference of your TNS system. In comparison to a normal installation the generator is equivalent to the substation transformer.
