Earth Electrode Concern.

Zoomup
I was working in a large back garden today. The garden shed was connected to an old caravan supply (caravan gone) and the underground S.W.A. cable from the house had been  converted to TT earthing originally for the caravan and now for the shed sockets and lighting. As an earth electrode somebody had used a length of  10mm galvanised threaded rod (studding). What are your views about its suitability please?

    Catch hold of it and give it a yank to see it it comes out of the ground or has actually rotted off just under the surface.


    I have condemned several because they have failed that test, all that remained of one rod was about six inches. If it passes the being yanked out of the ground test hook your loop tester up to it and see what that says.
