Got a 10kva diesel genny on site feeding a 400/110 TX.
I have run a SWA from the gen out to the TX, however installing an earth rod for the gen is difficult as it is sited on a concrete platform above ground level. However i have used a steel stantion sited about 30 metres away as the earth rod.Then i have taken the earth cable from the stantion back to the TX and bonded to the armouring within the SWA which of course goes back to the TX. I have then connected the SWA to the gen chassis etc.
Would this in theory provide an adequate means of fault path to the gen star point (test readings permitting)?
(Is a genset classed as TNS)?
