Earthing conductor route

That’s a 25mm2 earthing conductor run some 20m along a border hedge to an electrode at the rear of the building. It is a permanent, recent installation. When I commented on it the contractor lost his cool and screamed “what the hell is wrong with it”? I thought that the answer was obvious but my written response on behalf of the client is to be framed within the context of 7671. I have no difficulty in digging up the relevant regulations but they are subjective in nature. Anyway, all good fun!

    I did not say it was a good cunning plan, I was just pointing out that some thought had gone into planning this installation, the rod could have been where the cable started but obviously someone thought that was not the correct place to drive it into the ground.


    It never ceases to amaze the lengths that some people go to to do a less than adequate job, twenty metres in this instance ?
