Grounding of PSE-24125A / PSE-24275A to earth or to other designated ground
Please see details regarding grounding under “AC Power Distribution and Grounding”
on page 8
For safety, the metal chassis of the inverter is required to be grounded to the earth ground
or to the other designated ground (For example, in a mobile RV, the metal frame of the
RV is normally designated as the negative DC ground). An equipment grounding bolt
with a wing nut has been provided for grounding the metal chassis of the inverter to the
appropriate ground.
When using the inverter in a building , connect a # 8 AWG insulated stranded copper
wire from the above equipment grounding bolt to the earth ground connection ( a
connection that connects to the ground rod or to the water pipe or to another connection
that is solidly bonded to the earth ground ). The connections must be tight against bare
metal. Use star washers to penetrate paint and corrosion.
When using the inverter in a mobile RV, connect a # 8 AWG insulated stranded copper
wire from the above equipment grounding bolt to the appropriate ground bus of the RV
(usually the vehicle chassis or a dedicated DC ground bus ). The connections must be
tight against bare metal. Use star washers to penetrate paint and corrosion.

Please see details regarding grounding under “AC Power Distribution and Grounding”
on page 8.
In case of hard wiring of the PSE-24275A to a building’s service entrance /electrical
breaker panel / load center, proper grounding and bonding have to be undertaken as per
the applicable national / local electrical codes. In such cases, the electrical installation
should be undertaken by a qualified electrician.
When using the inverter independently by connecting the provided plate with NEMA 5-
15R receptacle and breaker to their front panel, it should be grounded as in the case of
PSE-24125A and PSE-24175A i.e. connect a # 8 AWG insulated stranded copper wire
from the equipment grounding bolt to the earth ground connection ( a connection that
connects to the ground rod or to the water pipe or to another connection that is solidly
bonded to the earth ground ). The connections must be tight against bare metal. Use star
washers to penetrate paint and corrosion.
When using these inverters in a mobile RV, connect a # 8 AWG insulated stranded copper
wire from the equipment grounding bolt to the appropriate ground bus of the RV
(usually the vehicle chassis or a dedicated DC ground bus ). The connections must be
tight against bare metal. Use star washers to penetrate paint and corrosion.
