Grounding (also known as earthing) is the process of physically connecting the metallic and exposed parts of a device to the earth. It is a mandatory practice required by NEC and IEC codes to protect
View Details
Inverters should always be grounded to a single grounding point. A copper grounding rod must be driven into the ground outside and connected to the single grounding point using a thick
