Folks, When setting up an inverter, one of the more important safety things to get correct is the grounding and the neutral-Ground bond.
Are the two (or three) grounds tied together?
Is there a neutral-ground bond?
If there is an AC-IN, does it change the neutral-ground bond when getting power from the AC-in?
I have started to try and collect this type of information for various inverters. Once I get information on several of them I will put it all into a resource and post it.
How does your inverter handle internal ground? If you send me the make/model of your inverter, I will add it to the resource.
The next 3 posts are examples of what I envision for each page of the resource.
- All of the inverters have a grounding lug
- All of the inverters have a ground connection on the AC out.
- Some inverters have an AC in and when they do they have a ground connection on the input.
