Inverter earthing

[xsilvergs]

I wonder as I mentioned before, is not the output from an inverter neither or either live and neutral? To make one live and one neutral, the neutral has to be tied to ground

Well I'm guessing that (see post #1) with the Victron Phoenix you can tie the Earth to the Neutral.

I was slightly annoyed as I didn't expect this. Is this a Victron thing, or is my RCD too sensitive?

OBEnergy thought this would not happen on a domestic system as any spikes could be absorbed by the grid.

David, hopefully, if the motorhome you worked on had an inverter fitted it doesn't have the issue.

I haven't used an RCD on a Victron Phoenix inverter, but I have on the Multiplus and it has no detremential effect.
The inverter today was not a Victron. I didn't it, just rerouted the wiring from it and don't know what brand it is, but it is a PSW model.

HI....It isn't unexpected to interface the Neutral to earth at any force source and no what other place. As it is preposterous without extremely unique gear fit for framing two separate supplies, to have more than one AC source at any one time, at that point the nonpartisan ought to be grounded at the inverter, This may be a current inward association, and is easy to check with an ohmmeter - 0 ohms earth to ground at the inverter outlet with nothing else associated.

Assuming you don't ground the unbiased, the nonpartisan can buoy to any voltage, and this could mean a danger if the impartial line got shorted to a non-earthed piece of metalwork some place.

Hi all. Well I thought I had sorted out the inverter earth question via the forums. And with the help of the forum found out how it should be done but now after reading the last 23 threads I am once again confused. Chassis earth. Negative earth.. biased ..unbiased. ..partisan ...non partisan. Remove links.. keep links What’s happened to the good old days when you joined this wire to this wire and that wire to that wire. And whatever you do don’t touch that one while you are standing in a bucket of water. I can understand that. Brian lol.
