Separately Derived System

[lady sparks lover]

I need a single line diagram showing how the generator is grounded when it's considered a separately derived system. Do I ground to the grounding bus in the main overcurrent protection device? This is the way I drew my diagram... :roll:

Not exactly a one line but it may be of use.

Lady,
Think of it as a service. You will need to provide the same things as you do for a service. bonding jumper, grounding electrode, grounding electrode conductor, OCPD. The one big difference between services and SDS is that with a service you can have multiple grounded to grounding conductors on the line side of the service disconnect. With the SDS, you can make only a single connection, in most cases. There is one exception.

He meant that he was wrong. The link was not broken.
