3-6. AC Safety Grounding
:
The AC output ground wire should go to the grounding point for your loads
(
for example, a distribution panel ground bus ).
3-6-1. Neutral Grounding (GFCI'S)
:
3-6-1-1. 110V models
:
The neutral conductor of the AC output circuit
of the Inverter is automatically connected to the safety
ground during inverter operation. In accordance with the
National Electrical Code requirements that separately derived
AC sources (such as inverter and generators) have their
neutral conductors tied to ground in the same way that the
neutral conductor from the utility is tied to ground at the AC
breaker panel. For models configured with a transfer relay,
while AC utility power is presenting and the Inverter is in
bypass mode, this connection (neutral of the Inverter's AC
output to input safety ground) is not present so that the utility
neutral is only connected to ground at your breaker panel,
as required.
3-6-1-2.
230V models
:
There is no connection made inverter interior
between either the line or neutral conductor to the safety ground.
WARNING!
Risk of electronic shock. Use only Pass and Seymour, type
2095-W or 7899-W, ground – fault circuit-interrupter
receptacles. Others may fail in operating the inverter when
connecting to the inverter's equipment.
