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

    some have mentioned a ‘private transformer’. I’m a bit confused by this, does it mean it is a dno transformer and only supplies one property Or it is privately owned and ran?

    privately owned and run - i.e. electricity is purchased at HV and the entire LV side, including earthing, is part of the consumer's installation. That way there's dependency on the DNO's equipment for the earthing.
