SYSTEM SETUP AND OPERATION GUDIE FOR THE 1 kW HYBRID POWER SYSTEM (HPS)
PRELIMINARY DRAFT
Grounding the PRO-Verter at the grounding lug is an important
safety measure. The PRO-Verter and the generator (if included)
should be bonded to an earth grounding rod. When the
generator is running, the AC neutral and equipment ground
automatically are bonded internally at the generator. When
running off battery, the AC neutral and equipment ground are
automatically bonded internally at the PRO-Verter.
If the System is ever connected to grid power, the AC neutral
must be bonded to the earth ground at the main breaker panel
of the grid power. Any generator connected to the System must
have a neutral-to-ground bond.

Electric Shock Hazard
WARNING
Standing water around the electrical equipment and/or intrusion of water into the System
components can increase the risk of electrical shock.
DON’T LET THIS BE YOU!
HIGH VOLTAGE:
System components,
photovoltaic (PV) arrays, and generators
may produce lethal line voltages. Extreme
care should be taken to protect against
electrocution. Always work with another person
in case an emergency occurs. Disconnect
power before performing maintenance. Wear
safety glasses whenever working on any part of
a system that requires exposure to mechanical
or direct electrical contacts.
WARNING
The System is NOT GFCI protected.
