Grounding
WARNING: Electric shock hazard
Do not make an ungrounded installation. Have an electrician install a properly grounded circuit if one is not available. Improper connection can result in risk of an electric shock.
The XC Series Battery Charger must be grounded to reduce the risk of electrical shock. The AC input ground wire of the charger must be properly connected to ground in accordance with the applicable electrical codes, this is usually a ground terminal in the AC distribution panel where the branch circuit originates.
Xantrex recommends that you install a DC chassis ground (earth) from the ground stud on the XC Series to the engine negative bus or DC ground bus. The DC chassis ground (earth) should not be more than one size smaller than the power conductors, and must be rated for the battery fuses that are used to protect the DC wiring. Refer to your local electrical codes to verify if this is required in your jurisdiction or in your application.
