I have read on the operating and safety guide the need to ground generators running power supply through an RCD, I have seen this in practice, only once, what are the dangers of not earthing such machines? and how suitable/sufficient would the installation be, the attempts I know of were pretty much an earth braiding jubilee clipped to a spike then rammed in the ground, not by a qualified electrician but the operative and to a depth of 100mm!
