    Not a test I have had to undertake often, so this video will be a massive help to refresh the memory in future!
    You’re probably the best CZcams Spark for informative content that looks awesome 👌 watched all your content and I’ve adopted a lot of the things you do into my own skill set which has helped me massively as an apprentice!

    Only just had to use this sort of tester at work this week for doing lightning protection testing. Lucky you have a nice open area to drive your test stakes in for your video

    Fantastic video mate. Good reference material to go back on as this test is not one of the common ones and not many sparks could tell you how to do it. Calculations towards the end got a bit complex with the percentage deviation but how you explained it was great. Well done fella. Enjoy your content. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    I went with a cheaper tester as testing can be done with as you say by 3 methods, my luck get called to a TT install with a fault no power (Fuse pulled) and what looks like a disconnected Earth Rod! Didn't do the job in the end because no one knew who pulled the fuse or why and other issues! But I would have been in a pickle not being able to prove the TT earth was sound prior to the Supplier (DNO had no contact and stated that without knowing why the fuse was pulled they would not reinstate) coming out and who knows when they would turn up! Would probably need to be there when they came.

      Look up stakeless and selective earth testing. If money is not an issue, see earth clamp meters as well.

      Hi. Can you please provide an analysis of your calculations - Thank you. I make it: max deviation from average 16.56 - 16.20 = 0.36 then (100/16.56) x 0.36 = 2.17% which is close to Mike’s result!

      Thank you for your swift reply.
      Using Mikes readings:
      Highest 16.84
      - Average 16.56
      ----------
      0.28
      Further using your wording:
      ‘Then divide by the highest’ 0.28/16.84=0.01662708 ???????????
      Your detailed calculations using Mikes readings would be appreciated - Many Thanks.
