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..

So, in your country, if installed to your regulations, what value of earth resistance would you require in such a case ?

Would I be right in assuming you often see problems with dry ground and high electrode resistance? Here an earth rod is typically a straight metre or so metal bar driven into the ground, and may give 50-200 ohms depending where in the UK we are.
