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?

    (It might however suggest "improvisation" might have been employed elsewhere on the installation as well - which may or may not have been so successful).

    Like the non glanded SW.A. submain from house to shed. The use of a B.S. 951 earth clamp on the armour at one end, and the S.W.A. cable being terminated in a Henley block in the house with the conductor single insulation being touchable and not double insulated.
