2.6.2 DC Grounding (On-Vehicle)
The QuietPower Inverter has a lug on the rear panel labeled Chassis Ground. This lug is used
to connect the chassis of the QuietPower Inverter to your DC ground as required for safety.
Use #6 AWG or larger copper wire (green if insulated) and secure it to the chassis lug as well as
the grounding point in your vehicle (usually the chassis).
- NOTE -
A good ground connection is best achieved with bare metal contact,
remove any paint or coatings from contacting metal surfaces when
making a ground connection.
2.6.3 DC Grounding (Off-Vehicle)
When the vehicle comes to a stop, the inverter may be used to power off-vehicle accessories. It
is necessary to make an additional grounding connection between the grounding point on the
vehicle and the ground rod to make connection with earth. The chassis connections of the off-
vehicle accessories must also be connected to this same ground rod.
