Hi,

I've been asked to look at installing a generator changeover switch at a property, so that they have some level of backup in the event of power cuts.

I dont have a great deal.of experience with generators.
The generator they are looking at is 3500w, with a 16a outlet and a "floating neutral".
Can anyone give me some advice as to what this means, and therefore what is required in terms of earthing and protection. (Im thinking RCD operation in home CU)
Thanks in advance
