Portable Generator

[Engineer54]

A 1KW portable generator will have a floating earth arrangement, no voltage regulator and the worst thing you can use, for many types of appliances. They are basically made for temporary site work, where only a bit of lighting and small drills/tools are to be used!! It's basically pointless trying to treat these tiny portable generators as more than what they actually are, by installing earth rods and the like!!

Now where did you get that picture from Glenn?

Can't be bothered to post the original.

There's an infinitely better version on TEF, a rod in a cup of soil next to a shower I think!
