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

    Hi John


    It is 80 kva connected for single phase. They actually ordered 40kva but were sent an 80. The neutral and earth are connected together in the set which are then connected to the frame. There is a 160a Mcb downstream of the gen in the switchboard and I intend to add a 300ma time delay rcd here aswell
