¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I have run some new circuits and outlets for backup power in the house. No issues there. But I have one outlet in a weird spot so instead of adding a new box and outlet I ran the new backup romex into the existing box and capped and taped off the old wire. Then I started wondering can I separate the outlet and run grid to one half and backup to the other half? And if I were do that, should the grounds from the grid circuit and the backup circuit be tied together on the same outlet?
My inverter/charger has an internal relay to switch grounding in and out depending on whether or not it is connected to grid. That seems to be working fine. My cheap plug-in circuit tester says the wiring and grounds are working correctly when the inverter/charger is grid connected and when disconnected from the grid.
