    Thank you. I can't wait for part 2 so that I can finally complete my solar circuits. I have been searching for a simple explanation on how to connect a grounding cable to an off grid 48 volt system with an all in one inverter.

    If our neutral is bonded on grid trasmformer.side, in this. Case we can bound neutral in over main panel side or not?​@@ReelClearMediaLLC

    Great series but have to rewatch it few times... What happens if I have an unbonded stand alone inverter (earth has its own connector on the back of the metal case and neutral is not bonded to it), and somehow there is a short of live and earth. And I touch the case? Since it's not able to complete the circuit, I should not get hit?

    ¿Para un sistema off grid puedo tirar un cable ground desde el panel de breaker principal al panel de breaker off grid? ¿O deberia instalar un nuevo ground independiente especificamente para el sistema off grid?

    Is the main breaker panel on the grid?

    @@Eliaslionloky I'm in the US, so this may not apply in other countries. You should be able to run a ground cable from your main panel if: Main panel has a grounding (earth) rod connected to its ground bus. You should have only one ground-neutral BOND in your whole electrical system. Your inverter is made to work with grid power.

    Sorry, I'm not familiar with them, as they aren't used in the US. We use GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupters) which trip when the current on L1 is different than N, basically detecting that current is going somewhere that it should not.

    GFCI is the American name for a Residual Current Device. Same thing.
