[QUOTE="Davethsparky, post: 412554, member: 27165"] Go back and read it again! I quite clearly said a product OF, not FOR! And clearly was replying to Evans' question about 'all the TTing' which is a reference to the huge number of topics from people who lack knowledge and common ere with questions that include phrases such as 'My mate told me' or 'I've heard that' How are you defining a pretend PME as opposed to a proper PME? They aren't terms I've found in any formal document on the subject. The massive flaw with a 5ww or any other idiot attempting to install a TT system is that they almost always seem to expect a single 4' skinny rod to be an adequate earth electrode which as long as a low current loop test goes a value under 200 ohms they consider to be acceptable. If the earth electrode is made up of multiple deep rods and/or earth plates, tapes, other suitable buried metal, ufer earths etc and has been tested with a recognised earth resistance testing method giving an Ra which is low enough to actually do some good and not result in reliance on bloody RCDs then yes I will agree that it is a better system.
