I have spent hours researching this subject and I think I am no closer to answers. One post says: "ground everything metal to earth", another says: "keep everything floating". I just want to keep my equipment and people safe and healthy. I appreciate how complex the topic is:
- off-grid grounding (earthing)
- grid-tie grounding
- mobile installation grounding
- ground-neutral bonding
- A/C side earthing
- PV grounding, bonding, earthing
- lightning mitigation
Many posts and vids give much wisdom and advice but use industry terminology that is over the head of us DIY'ers such as "The only connection made between the ground and the neutral conductor is made on the service side at the meter base."
"English, Spock!"
Perhaps if I can ask one simple question at a time, someone can help us with a few key guidelines / advice.
1. we have an off-grid shipping container based system with 2 LV6548s in parallel to create 240v split phase into to a typical Square-D main panel. to resolve the ground-neutral bond issue should we: a. remove the bar in the main panel between the ground and neutral busses? or b. remove the bonding screw in both LV6548 controllers? c. both d. neither
