One other question grounding a 120vac to the chassis won't cause any problems with the 12 volt negative chassis connection that my truck and trailer use will it?
Just installed the breaker box and new powmr hybrid unit. Solar 48 volt system turning the powmr which is the only source of ac power turns off the shock between touching my trailer and securing framework. I am hoping someone can help me with this because I don't know what is next. I was...
The electrical code is similar to plumbing code but as far as pointing you electrically to code you would need an electrician. I have entertained the idea of building solar systems in Texas and consulted many master electricians. Plumbing would be to consult sunset act which governs plumbing...
I use to drive gas tankers definately use to be a thing for static electricity but I think 20 years ago someone invented something that got rid of static electricity without the chains and the chains weren't ideal because they would create sparks.
I would say send back your charger and get a larger one. I'm a noob also but I personally pushed my Renogy one too its limit about a month ago it failed into 24v mode even though it is a 12 volt system frying my inverter. I partially blame pushing it to the labels max and will oversize my...
So how do regular recreational vehicles with solar systems ground? Do I need to drive a grounding rod everytime I stop? I am getting more confused and no closer to a solution to my current problem.
How would I go about testing exactly where the current is entering the frame of my trailer and now truck? I have a multimeter I am just looking at it online and everyone is telling you how to test for a short on the grid, but the process would be different without a grounding rod right?
Right now, the shore power is a distant thought. In addition to the original issue I am now noticing it is the ground to metal inside my framework and metal on my truck to ground that is shocking me so I am thinking there is a short in a couple places that without a actual ground is shocking me...

It makes sense you are from New York. I don't care what excuse or how you attempt to alter the information you glean. If I do begin commercially selling this product that I am building a prototype of discussing it on a forum to troubleshoot problems does not give anyone rights to my creation.
I hear what was said about the trailer plug being the potential issue but it is all plastic and has no conductive contact to the truck so the issue is when i collectively link the metal on the truck to ground current starts flowing. Somewhere in the system the electricity is entering the chassis...
I don't understand what you are grieving unless it is being from that cesspool New York. You seem excited to take your career criminal mentality online, not grief.
So it isn't the hybrid controller that is the problem? Correct me if I am wrong but do you have both your 48v and your regular engine batteries bonded to the same chassis?
That is what I thought but i did a test with my multimeter direct grounding one probe and touching truck and it read 50ac voc and about 1 amp. It must be partially the pigtail because this 6 pin controls both circuits and the problem happens with either circuit isolated but not if both are down...
Securing framework is basically the unistrut I used inside the utility box to keep everything from falling out while I drive around. The trailer is also of my design out of unistrut and the side walls are panels that hinge upward like a door whenever I am parked. It is actually the trailer...
My trailer is basically just a converted tractor supply company trailer that I added a bunch of unistrut onto and put panels like walls in the ceiling that can actually raise up and lower down on hinges so the panels are connected directly to the unistrut I'm not sure how the electricity is...
100v line ground and 20 neutral ground. Should I just bond it in the panel? I do want to occasionally hook to shore power but my panels produce 100% of my needs right now. Sorry about the dumb questions I am new to all this.
After rereading the manual it is very hard to tell what is and is not mentioned as electrical speak is already a language I struggle with and the english being used is poorly interpreted from mandarin. I did not see anything about grounding in the manual.
Just another patent story... My father started a child company as a merchant for the perforation of oil wells. Perforation of oil wells has various levels of difficulties when getting deeper and into different geological formations. The equipment being used was subpar in some of these...
Watched my dad go thru the process of patenting several things and then watched the oil companies he worked for steal those ideas. If his lawyers fought their lawyers in court guess who would win?
George Carlin was right "it's a big club and I ain't in it." Meanwhile I can call all the theft...
I have 2 solar systems on my vehicle one is a 12 V smaller system that I built about 3 years ago and it is fine it doesn't have any issues the new 1 is a trailer that has wings that extend up and collect 2 kW hours of power in solar panels that feed into a tin killer watt battery that I've had...
However that doesn't explain the bond inside the cabinet or to the unhooked truck. I also have a 12 volt system on the truck but don't have the inverter on just using it as backup. Honestly I think it is to much to solve on the forum I think I need to bring it to a really good Electrician and...
