Forgive such a basic question. I searched but didn’t find an answer though I’m sure it’s been covered.
Is all I need to do is ground the black bus bar with all the DC side of things to the metal chassis of the trailer? And do the same for the AC side? And both AC and DC can ground to the same point? 12v dc and 120v ac. For shore power, most of the time we’d connect to the grid, but on occasion we might charge from a generator.
Also, I assume the trailer is also grounded to the tow vehicle when coupled but I’m not 100% sure how to test this…does it matter either way?
Grounding has always mystified me, so I’d love if someone could double check me here. Thank you!
