Generator earthing

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

  • You will struggle to find a 160A rated RCD. Better to put a 160A MCCB with earth fault protection close to the generator so that the cable from the generator is protected for both overload and earth faults. Blakely do MCCBs in enclosures with adjustable Vigi units that would be perfect for your job.
