Hi
Recall of 6Kva generators

http://www.recalls.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/1061639

While not directly concerning the RV field  it does show the problems!

It seems there is no end to the crap, that is coming in

Yes, fitted with a RCD, BUT it is NOT functional,. for a very simple reason :roll:

Glad my little 2kva is completely covered in plastic or have I missed the point?

Hi Tom

You do deserve an explanation

Even though your generator may have a full plastic case ..,That has nothing to do with with RCD protection

The Earth  of the 3pin socket/s will be connected to the Actual GENERATOR frame[ the GUTS that generates the power]

In reality it makes no difference to the SAFETY recommendations or how /why an RCD or RVD should be considered

 Perhaps your generator has a terminal marked "EARTH"?

Perhaps the Manual even suggests using an "EARTH STAKE"??

DO NOT connect that "EARTH "terminal to an EARTH Stake or to any other earthed structure, water pipe. steel building frame  etc
