Installation
Battery Negative and the chassis of the DC Panel and the chassis of the
G4 will all be bonded to the Earth Ground.
Connect the DC Ground of G4 (5) (5 in the DC side layout in Fig. 5.8,
page 24) to the Equipment Grounding Bus Bar (2) in the DC Panel using
AWG #6 insulated stranded copper wire. For application of G4 on a boat,
the size of this wire should be of the same size as the battery Negative wire.
The connections must be tight against bare metal. Use star washers to
penetrate paint and corrosion. As the equipment Grounding bus bar
(2) in the DC Panel is bonded to the Grounding electrode (Ge), the
chassis of the G4 / DC side will be bonded to earth Ground.
WARnInG!
For application of G4 on a boat,the size of the
equipment Grounding Conductor (eGC) for the DC
side grounding should be of the same size as the
battery negative wire.
ATTENTION!
Si vous utilisez le G4 sur un bateau, la taille du
conducteur de terre de l'équipement «EGC» pour le
côté de terre CC devrait être de la même taille que le
câble négatif de la batterie.
AC Side Grounding (Please see Fig 5.12)
AC side grounding involves the AC side grounds of the G4 (Terminals
GND IN and GND OUT), the Inverter Sub-Panel (Bus Bar for Equipment
Grounding Conductors) and the Service Entrance (Bus Bar for Equipment
Grounding Conductors):
• TheACInputGround(GNDIN,11)andACOuputGround(GND
OUT, 12), are internally bonded to the chassis of the inverter (3)
• TheEquipmentGroundingConductor(partoftheACinputwiring)
from Bus Bar for the equipment Grounding Conductors in the Service
