[QUOTE="green-hornet, post: 69618, member: 2683"] Your meter was turned off? well thats one idea;) Fiat you have a major problem as far as the ground is concerned, this would normally require some expert electrical engineering, going as far as some geophysics. If its really rural there may be a posibility to establish a remote earthing station, often installed beyond a bedrock, however this would have to be investigated as a possibility. Multiple rods if connected together may not give you the required resistance. You may have to place some earth mats down, if there is enough land available. This gives a greater mass to earth than a rod, or multiple rods can do. This is a network of tapes or plates to spread the surface area to earth, hopefully giving a better earth. The other option is to core drill the rock and insert a rather long rod,not a financially viable option I would have thought. [/QUOTE]
