Just like the title says can I get a best practices grounding for a system with multiple parallel inverts Off-grid + Grid back up+battery bank+generator back up+ grid transfer switch.
I have searched and read the last several days. I information for pretty much on off grid systems but not anything on parallel inverters with grid back up.
From what I understand, should only be 1 bonded location, from there everything else should be linked at a common bus bar.
So Ac power comes into a main breaker disconnect box, that box has a bonded ground/ neutral to grounding rods linked together.
If each component has its own path back to the main busbar/rod then no ground fault or loops should arise.
Is this correct?
L1 L2 G N goes out to respective inverters, each panel unbonded but panel should be ground back to the green ground wire.
Battery pack 51.2v 2000ah combined rating, after bms pos and negative run to a breaker, a ground wire comes from breaker to the main panel grounding bus bar. Pos neg terminals go to inverter bus bars for the inverters to pull from.
Inverter ac out would go to main house distribution panel. L1 L2 G N restive locations and linking the G back to the bus bar. This panel and any subsequent sub panels would not be bonded.
PV panels all get linked together panel to panel with a ground wire. This does not get its ground rod, instead would go to the main ground rod or to grounding bus bar.
Transfer switch would just be a full by pass, since the main panel is bonded should be no other changes?
