Get StartedInverters are enclosed with an Aluminum heatsink to dissipate heat and are also fitted with a grounding terminal to the enclosure. A grounding wire of 6 AWG must be connected to the grounding terminal on the inverter and connected to a single-point grounding connection wire.
If the components were all individually grounded, this could lead to voltage potential differences. The AC output terminals of the inverter supply the Neutral to Ground connection, and no secondary grounding connections are permitted. See also: Connect A Solar Panel To An Inverter (Here’s How)
Some modern inverters are fitted with a grounding point connection in the inverter circuitry. Still, this grounding point must be disconnected when the inverter is connected to a power distribution panel with its grounding. The inverter must not be double grounded as this may cause a problem.
A grounding wire of 6 AWG must be connected to the grounding terminal on the inverter and connected to a single-point grounding connection wire. If there is no suitable grounding connection point, then the grounding wire from the inverter must be connected to the negative terminal of the battery bank for off-grid systems.
One way to earth a solar inverter is to connect it to the grounding system of the building or structure where it is installed. This can be done by using a grounding rod or electrode to create a direct path for electrical currents to flow into the ground.
(Safe Measures) An inverter can operate without being grounded and will thus be a potential hazard to users as it can cause a nasty, even fatal shock. An ungrounded inverter will contain live points, which, when touched, will send a current through your body to the earth. Your body has completed the loop to earth.
