'66,

I can't reccomend energizing any grounding conductor intentionally. If you do you've got bigger stones than me. [Linked Image]

Besides, this is not the reccomended test of a grounding electrode.

Most of the testers I've seen cost in the $800 + range. I can buy & drive a lot of ground rods for that money & as I've said, in WV, there is no 25 ohms or less, except maybe in a riverbed.

Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example.
