Connecting the Chassis Ground

Connecting the Chassis Ground
The PROwatt 1750 has a screw terminal labeled
CHASSIS GND
on the
outside of the rear panel as shown in
Figure 3-4
. Follow the guidelines in
“Grounding Locations”
to connect the inverter’s chassis to the ground.
The neutral (common) conductor of the inverter AC output circuit is
connected to the chassis ground. Therefore, when the chassis is connected
to ground, the neutral conductor is also grounded. This conforms to
National Electrical Code requirements stating that separately derived AC
sources (such as inverters and generators) must have their neutral
conductors tied to the ground in the same way that the neutral conductor
from the utility line is tied to the ground at the AC breaker panel.
Grounding Locations
The chassis ground terminal must be connected to a grounding point. The
grounding point varies depending on where you install the PROwatt
1750. Follow the guidelines that correspond to your type of installation:
Recreational Vehicle
Connect the
CHASSIS GND
screw to the vehicle’s
chassis using 8 AWG copper wire (preferably with green/yellow
insulation) or larger.
WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard
Never operate the PROwatt 1750 without connecting it to the
ground. Electrical shock hazard could result.
