In installation of earth electrode, what are the materials needed
Andrew Procter
earth fault loop tester or electrode resistance tester. earth rod inspection pit. earth rod(s) and clamp(s) 16mm2 earth core BS951 labels mechanical protection for the cable. buried at a suitable depth. completed BS7671 certificate. Would be interesting to know if this is at the origin or in an outbuilding etc...and why it is being done. might need to consider bonding extraneous conductive parts with 10mm2 for an outbuilding might need to consider seperating the main earth coming from the origin for an outbuilding. I recommend getting an electrician to do it.

Hi Henry. Cooper earth electrode - best galvanised .I case poor earth resistance use two or three electrodes . Test must be done before connection to circuit . Bogdan PROTON PROTON find me on facebook if you need electrician in London

Usually just a metre long copper rod, with clamp at the top, then just the 16mm earth cable back to the consumer unit. Needs to be ideally knocked into the ground into a nice bit of earth somewhere.
