grounding a mobile sound booth and stage
Posted: Fri Jul 7, 2006 10:15:45 PM

A friend wants to build a mobile sound booth and stage for musical productions and wants to have the option of either using a single phase 120/240 50 amp four wire plug or a single phase 120/240 50 amp four wire generator mounted on the truck. As I see it, the 4 wire plug's equipment ground will be suffient but what of the generator? The one he's looking at comes as a 4-wire system. The metal of the truck will be bonded to the generator ground. Does he have to drive a ground rod at every location?

Electricity travles the path of least resistance. It is always good practice to have your equipment grounded. I would either find a good existing ground or male my own each time it were set up. Good luck
