Hi there, Am just about to start a job installing supplies for woodworking machines in a steel building. The supply is a skid mount site type 3 phase diesel genny. There is no alternative supply. I am experienced in building containment etc and wiring the machines also the DB's etc etc my main concern is adequately protecting the supply cable earthing systems etc. From what I read the generator is almost certainly neutral earth bonded within the enclosure so my thinking is to stake down the genny using the building steelwork and then treating as TNS from then on. Is this about right? I think the genny is not supplied with any protective devices but has outgoing terminals (I think...) I will know more this morning when I visit the site. I suppose really I am looking for some links to possible layouts schematics etc or just some general advice. Thanks
