I have a Growatt LVM3000es 48v which trips the GFCI feeding it's a/c input when charging from grid.
I'm guessing this is a neutral ground bond issue, but I can't find any info on it in the manual https://signaturesolar.com/content/documents/GROWATT/1519009-manual.pdf

Is there a screw inside like other growatts I need to remove?

It trips the gfci feeding it even when I don't connect input ground, even if I'm only asking it to draw 10a, even if I set it to draw only 5a. At 5a charge it will last a couple minutes then trip.

It trips even when the inverter is shut off with the switch and all I'm asking from it is to trickle charge batteries from grid.

I read with some growatts people are jumpering the input neutral to output neutral, but I'm not using the a/c output. I'm trying to just use it as a charger with the inverter switched off at the switch on the bottom of the growatt. I'm using a separate little victron phoenix 1200 to power my a/c loads.

Nevermind, I think I may have found what I needed in this thread.
Looks like I need to customize things just a little a bit.
