Expanding AC distribution panel
I'm looking at options for expanding the AC dist. on a Parallax 6300 dist. panel.
Forum Discussion
The RV 120v "ground" to the frame is the same as the 12v DC "ground" to the frame. They share the frame as "ground".
However the 120v also has white neutral, but the DC has white as "negative" (if black is "positive")
In an RV you can find one or more DC 12v clusters of white wire that then go to the frame.
The 30a 120v shore cord goes to the Main breaker for Black, to the Neutral Buss for White and the bare wire goes to the RV frame via the metal chassis for the 6300 power centre.
The lower portion 6300 converter only has two 120v wires, black and white to breaker and neutral buss. It is grounded by its metal chassis touching the main metal chassis, which is grounded via that bare 120v wire to the frame.
The DC fuse panel is "grounded" to the frame several ways as mounted, (including the screws holding it in place AFAIK)
