Evening Guys,
A client has approached me, he has a shipping container which is located at a remote location which he intends to use mainly for storage but he would like a couple of lights in it and a double socket.
The intention is to leave the generator outside and install a commando type plug to the side of the container, inside this will be connected to a 2 way rcd consumer unit, one for the socket and one for the lighting which will be switched.
Having never installed a generator in a situation like this before I have been looking into the earthing arrangements that may be required but Im getting somewhat confused.
Does somebody know what is needed in a situation like this? whether I need to install an earth rod for the generator?
Its complicated further because the client has the requirement to remove the generator to use a couple of times a year at another location.
Its a single phase, 3KVA generator.
many thanks
