Mains consumer unit earthing


When installing a mains system into a vehicle or any mobile installation, the system must be grounded/earthed to the chassis. 


When we supply any mains equipment, we supply it with a 6mm green/yellow earthing cable. This is to be connected directly to the chassis of the vehicle, via a good clean bare metal connection. That's anything which is a welded part of the body work, clean the paint off, apply a conductive grease and then bolt the eye terminal on the earth wire to the chassis. 


It shouldn't be earthed to the leisure battery negative, only the bodywork of the van.
