Site cabin EICR

Paul Brewerton over 5 years ago

Hi folks,

We have a site welfare cabin that needs an EICR. The cabin is powered by an onboard generator, which is connected to an earth electrode.

What is lowest acceptable resistance we are looking for when conducting an earth electrode test.

Thanks for any advice you can give, I have gone through BS7671 and IET GN3 and cant find the answer..

Thanks Benyamin,

From IET GN3, Pg 64
For TN-S systems and generator supplies electrode resistance values may not have been specified, as there is a separate metallic earth conductor and electrodes often simply provide a local reference earth.

So from that I am taking that there isn't a minimum resistance reading we are looking for?
