Hi all, first post for some time! Currently installing power and lighting into a small cabin. Supply will be from a permanently connected generator and using a rod for earthing purposes. Carrying out testing today and only getting 197v between live and rod. Guessing I may need another rod which...
I have been asked of my club to wire up 2 cabins with power so they can have lights on during the dark mornings. There is 3 metal cabins in total one with a generator in it, one which is the main office and one for meetings. The 2 cabins that want power both have a C.u in them. So if i wire in a...
What earthing system should be used on an off grid install with a solar inverter, wind inverter, battery backup inverter and a 4.5kW floating earth generator?
I'm carrying out some inspection and testing this morning. I've come across something new to me. I'm a workshop they have a 3 phase DB which is ONLY supplied from a generator. The site only had a single phase supply and therefore when they need to use 3 phase equipment they simply switch on the...
Hi Guys,
I've got a question which I think the answer would be "Yes its ok" but I'm just after a second opinion and think some of you folks might have had experience with this type of set up (I haven't).
I've just wired a new out building which is going to be used as a sort of after school /...

Hi all, back again requiring some transportable building knowledge, this time round a catering/burger van and its earthing arrangment.
Was asked to carry out some simple repairs and replacements to a local burger van that is basically static to one location. Fed by a 3kva generator with a16a...
I have a friend who has just bought a horse box with a pizza oven in it. He would like to use a small generator with it to power two fridges and no doubt a couple of lights.
The load would be no more than 1kw total so I have had a look at the little Honda and Yamaha suitcase 2kw units which I...
Hi guys, so a 180 watt motor is powerful enough to spin a 3000 watt generator, meaning that the generator makes enough power to power the motor, and yea I know if you include all the energy losses such as losses from heat, mechanical movement and even sound, then the generator will end up making...
