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

    Almost right. Generator > 10 metres or so of cable( yet do be decided which type of cable) > mccb/rcd in switchboard > changeover switch. Yes there is no short circuit protection or earth fault protection to this cable, overload protection being provided by the downstream mccb
