Earthing 240V consumer unit

[j0hn61]

Hey, I’m currently installing 240v electrics in my van and I’ve earthed the consumer unit to the van itself. Just want to make 100% sure this has been done correctly and it’s safe. I’ve attached a picture. Can anyone help?

Cheers
John

I’m no expert in the electrics, but there are a couple of threads on here that state that is the correct way to do it.

...Me as well, but what about when off grid and using 230V from an inverter? Apologies, I edited my post as it didn't read how I wanted. I was thinking about EHU CU's only as I dont recall @Stuupid mentioning an inverter. @Stuupid? Certainly I can see the potential danger of a shorted van body...

It would be better to use the OEM earth stud that’s just above the wheel arch, rather than a self tapper to the body.
