HI all, was checking my ehu lead and noticed it is only twin wired with no earth, is this ok or dangerous. I have been using it the last seven months.

To clarify
I fitted an RCD this protects against earth fault leakage and will trip at only 30 milli amps leakage in milliseconds .The overcurrent protection remained the job of the double pole circuit breaker supplied by the converter.
An RCBO is used for individual circuits and covers earth leakage AND overcurrent protection.

EDIT yes Rapido put the distribution boards in the garage unlike Hymers und Bursteners under seats n shit :LOL:

Stick one of these in, the current rating doesn't matter (but must be over 16 amps) as it is only the current carrying capacity not over current protection. The important bit is 30ma
