Have an off-grid cabin being powered by an Ecoflow Delta Pro through an inlet. The ground-neutral bond is in the panel.
During winter months, the Ecoflow is recharged with a regular generator, which is bonded. To recharge with generator, the Ecoflow has to be disconnected from the house to avoid a ground loop. This is a bit annoying as it means the cabin is unpowered while recharing the Ecoflow.
Ideally the Ecoflow would provide a ground-neutral bond via relay, depending on whether there is shore power (similar to what Victron and other inverters provide). It looks like they have such a solution: the "Grounding Adapter" which communicates with the main unit. The Ecoflow website, unfortunately, does not have much info on this device, so if anyone here is familiar with the device and can confirm it does function like a hybrid ground/neutral bond. As well, can anyone see problems with my plan to remove the ground/neutral bond from the panel and replace with the grounding adapter?
