Does anyone have any advice on SS's Earthing/Filtering question -
I'm curious what the answer is too :-)


Google back. There was a fairly recent long thread on this subject. No
firm answer as it depends on a particular installations supply type
but basically:

You need a properly installed earth spike connected with suitably
sized cable to:

a) The generators frame.
b) One of the phases from the generator to create a local "neutral".
c) The installations main earth terminal.

It is c) that causes the problems depending on how the "earth" for the
main earth terminal is normally derived.
