Yes, there was talk of all installations having to have an earth rod.Been watching electrical shenanigans on YouTube and tales of the pme system failing .
Sure, but, after you have hammered it into the ground, how will you test the rod to ensure that it will be effective in the event of a PME failure?Thanks for taking the time to reply.
So,to sum up..
If I added an earth rod/rods, it's not going to compromise the pme system in any way.
