Hi Gmd
Re many of your statements This one says it all:
"I am not an electrician if you may wonder so take this NOT as advise. I just
use my common sense. "
Sorry
Unfortunately "common sense" is only one's personal opinion of their advise.
A few points:-
RCDs have different trip ratings,
30ma standard [for houses etc]
20 ma for patient areas in hospitals, old age homes ,ambulamnces etc
Vehicle permanent installation?
if permanently wired , by fixed wiring but not cord!!!
Earth stake , NO, not if the vehicle is fed from a house switch board or van park outlet.
But yes IF it is directly fed from a metered point [ similar to house] then may be classed as permanent & requires ALL the requirements of AS 3000
Fuses ,OlCBs before meters ??
Not sure which states you are referring to,But to my knowledge all states do not have consumer fuses or OLCBS BEFORE meters.
In Fact ,to my knowledge, NO supply authority would approve of Unsealed fuses /olcbs or main switch before their meters!!!
Flexible cable size must as a minimum be rated the same as the inlet socket, but depending on length may need to be larger,
The inlet socket must be suitable for the expected load based on calculated max demand [with a rule in Standards specifying how to calculate]
I think you should take care in posting detailed advise on how to carry out detailed wireing of 240v.
Some of your info is correct & other is incorrect.
.If some one follows thru on your incorrect advise & an accident occurred they *& the supplier of that advise could be in serious trouble
