[QUOTE="LesNewell, post: 388079, member: 25922"] Thank you. The barn is supplied from a nearby tranformer on a pole. The tranformer supplies two other properties.I just dug though my pile of lesser used test equipment and found a Seaward DL750 earth loop tester. It's calibration is out of date but it should be good enough to get an idea of what is going on. The wiring in the barn was a scary mess with multiple CUs of various vintages, mostly half full of chicken s**t and dead insects. Luckily it has a big old cast iron isolator at the meter so a while back I dropped the power and scrapped everything apart from one CU that feeds one socket, all within 0.5m of the meter. The only earth bonding was to an LPG main. The main and tank have now been removed so I just have the meter, isolator, CU and socket as a completely self contained setup. I plugged the earth loop tester into the socket and got a reading of 0.1 ohm. [/QUOTE]
