[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 539715, member: 250"] I am assuming your UT525 is one of these.. [URL]https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32800013320.html[/URL] Although it can do more than one test function, To most electricians it would not generally be termed an "MFT".. as it cannot do earth loop impedance or prospective fault current measurements.. In simple definitions an MFT is able to do all the tests required to complete a standard electrical certificate for a CU & final circuits. (obviously excluding any additional requirements due to areas such as EV's Solar etc.) Back to trying to measure an earth electrode.. as an example of the same brand of tester as your UT525, you would need something like this then follow guidance mentioned previously in GN3 [URL]https://www.tester.co.uk/uni-t-ut521-earth-ground-tester[/URL] [/QUOTE]
