    Connecting Neutral/Ground terminals to DC input negative terminal on Growatt SPF 3000TL LVM-48P?

    @timselectric do you think that wiring up the AC as I’ve demonstrated is necessary (creating N-G bond with relay and bonding neutrals) or is it even a big deal if I just leave the neutral floating? I’m not sure if this essentially renders the ground conductor useless (specifically when not...

    Connecting Neutral/Ground terminals to DC input negative terminal on Growatt SPF 3000TL LVM-48P?

    Hmm an AC-DC converter might be a good option. I didn’t even think about that.

    Connecting Neutral/Ground terminals to DC input negative terminal on Growatt SPF 3000TL LVM-48P?

    Yes I understand that the RV chassis serves as “ground” in this case and not the dirt. But as stated in my earlier reply I am not talking about “earth ground” (or it’s equivalent). Anywhere I say “ground” I am talking about the ground conductor/ the ground terminals on the inverter. Jumping...

    Connecting Neutral/Ground terminals to DC input negative terminal on Growatt SPF 3000TL LVM-48P?

    Yeah I have also messaged Growatt and am waiting to hear back from them. Hopefully they respond. Just wanted to see if anyone here has any insight. Thanks.

    Connecting Neutral/Ground terminals to DC input negative terminal on Growatt SPF 3000TL LVM-48P?

    Thanks for your response, however I think there are some misconceptions here. From my understanding in an AC system the ground wire exists to protect in cases of ground faults, which essentially provides a low resistance path back to the source if the “line” somehow comes into contact with the...

    Connecting Neutral/Ground terminals to DC input negative terminal on Growatt SPF 3000TL LVM-48P?

    Hello all I'm new here and have a question regarding wiring my Growatt SPF 3000TL LVM-48P. I came across this thread https://diysolarforum.com/threads/growatt-3000-spf-floating-neutral-solved-for-now.31692/ and have determined that my unit does not internally bond neutral and ground and plan...

    Growatt 3000 SPF Floating Neutral (Solved for Now)

    @FilterGuy I have this unit and am installing it in an rv. I have determined that it is in fact the old version which does not have the NG bond, so I am going to wire it up as per your diagram, specifically like the one here where the ground wire is connected to the rv chassis. I have one...
