Installing the Inverter/Charger

DC Grounding

The Chassis Ground point on the inverter/charger is used to connect the chassis of the inverter/charger to your system’s DC grounding point, as required by regulations for some installations. Use copper wire that is either bare or provided with green insulation.

The grounding guideline given below assumes you are using the code- compliant DC supply cable and fuse sizes indicated on page 13. If you are using different sizes, refer to the applicable code for DC grounding detail.

To connect the chassis ground:

1.Using the appropriate wrench, loosen the bolt on the chassis ground point shown in Figure 7.

2.Connect the grounding cable between the chassis ground point and the DC grounding point for your system.

In an RV or vehicle installation, the DC grounding point will usually be the vehicle chassis or a dedicated chassis ground bus.

3.Tighten the screw to a torque of 1.0–1.25 ft-lbs (1.47–1.7 Nm).
