Installation
Battery Negative, the chassis of the DC Electrical Panel and the metal chassis of the EVO™ will all be bonded to the
Earth Ground.
Connect the DC Grounding Terminal
(Figs 2.1 and 3.8)
, to the Grounded Bus Bar (G-B) in the DC Electrical Panel using
AWG #6 insulated stranded copper wire. Similarly, use AWG #6 wire to connect the Grounded Bus Bar (G-B) in the DC
Electrical Panel to the Grounded Bus Bar (G-B) in the Grid Electrical Panel. For application of EVO™ on a boat, the size
of this wire should be of the same size or one size smaller than the battery Negative wire (
See CAUTION!
).
The connections must be tight against bare metal. Use star washers to penetrate paint and corrosion.
As the
Equipment Grounded Bus Bar (G-B) in the DC Electrical Panel is bonded to the Grounding Electrode (GE)
through Grounded Bus Bar (G-B) in the Grid Electrical Panel, the metal chassis of the EVO
™
will be bonded
to Earth Ground for protection against Ground fault on the DC side of EVO
™
.
3.14 AC SIDE GROUNDING
3.14.1 AC Side Grounding Requirements for Generators
Small portable generators supplied with receptacles will often have the Neutral conductor bonded to the generator
frame. The frame of portable generator is normally isolated from the Earth Ground. If such a portable generator is used
to feed the AC input of EVO-4248SP,
ensure the following:
(i) The Neutral is bonded to the metal frame either internally or externally.
(ii) The metal frame is firmly connected to the Earth Ground through the Ground Rod of the premises.
Larger generators typically do not have the Neutral grounded to the frame.
It is to be ensured that in these generators,
the Neutral should be connected to the metal frame of the generator and the metal frame should be bonded to Earth
Ground through Ground Rod.
WARNING!
If a Generator is used to feed AC input, it is to be ensured that the Neutral of the Generator output is bonded
to the metal frame of the Generator and that the metal frame is bonded to Earth Ground through Ground Rod.
MISE EN GARDE!
Si un générateur est utilisé pour envoyer de l'entrée CA, c'est de s'assurer que la position neutre de la
sortie du générateur est lié à la structure métallique du générateur et que le châssis métallique est relié
à la terre via la tige de terre.
3.14.2 AC Side Grounding of Typical Shore Based Installation
Refer to the Installation Diagram for Typical Shore Based Installation at Fig 3.13. accompanying AC Input / Output
connections, Fig 3.9
a) AC Input Grounding:
The metal chassis of EVO™ gets bonded to the Grounding Electrode (
GE
) / “Ground Rod”
of the premises as follows:
• The metal chassis of EVO™ is connected to the “INPUT GND” Terminal (
8A, Fig 3.9
) of the AC Input / Output
Terminal Block in EVO™
