Generator earthing

Baldyhugh
Hi


I have a tractor driven Backup generator to install on a farm shortly and have a query regarding the earth spike. Does it need to go directly back to the MET or can I connect it directly into the generator earth terminal, the latter being Quite a lot simpler   In my case? 


thanks

    If more than 3kW then BS 7430 says you need an independent earth electrode for the generator with an earth resistance of 20 ohms or less.
