Ok Ashley, I am also and electrician and sorry your dads wrong in both cases - 230v can be used on site with RCD protection but not the preferred way.
- A generator cannot be used at nats or outside without the protection of a 30mA RCD. A trip as you say is for over load protection purposes only, not protection against electric shock. I know my new geny has no RCD pre-installed!!!! I have a plug-in one
(RCD) Residual current device for peeps that not know.
(Trip) MCB or CB, modern fuse
