Hi, New to site so forgive any clumsiness. I have a problem and I wonder if anyone can help. Basically I am bringing in AC Voltage from a wind turbine into a steel container. The container houses the inverter, batteries and a 230v AC Installation - lights and sockets as well as an external supply to the end user.
My querey is how do I afford safety against electric shock to persons within the container, (container is 6m x 4m x2.5m. This is totally off grid.
Do I tie down neutral and introduce RCD protection. If so what if the inverter desides to switch poles. Do I just put on MCB Units and ignore any earthing to the steel container.And what about the 48v battery system. Any ideas
 
Install an earth electrode and connect to frame of enclosure.
 
Is the earth spike to dissapate stray current/voltage. This is being placed on a mountain top and is completly unconnected to any grid system
