GROUNDING CONSIDERATIONS
There is a screw terminal labelled CHASSIS GND on the rear panel of the Inverter. This
terminal is connected to the case of the AC output socket. The use of this terminal will
depend on your particular installation. In any installation, heavy duty, green insulated
wire should be used for this connection.
In a stationary land based installation, the earth terminal should be connected to a metal
earthing stake driven into the ground to a depth of 4 feet (1.2m) or more, if the battery
system powering the inverter does not have a connection to ground, one of the battery
terminals (commonly the negative terminal) should also be connected to the earthing
stake.
In a vehicle where the inverter is wired directly to the battery, the earth terminal is
simply connected to the vehicle on a temporary basis and will be powered via the
cigarette lighter socket in the vehicle, the earth terminal should be connected via a short
link to either the negative or positive DC input terminal of the inverter, depending on
whether the vehicle has a negative or positive chassis connection. However when using
the Inverter to power equipment used outside the vehicle, an earthing stake should also
be used, as described above.
In a boat, the earth terminal should be connected to the existing grounding system,
which may be the hull of the craft, or a network of ground wires.
