Thank you! I now see where the Aims 2000 I’m looking at does indeed have a relay to break the bond with external AC. This goes along with what I’ve always heard: only bonded in one place at source of power. Gets kinda confusing with multiple sources. A follow up question, if I may:
Would the proper place for hard wired EMS surge protection be between the inverter and the Genset/shore power transfer switch?
The EMS should be between whatever power source that could have trouble and whatever you want to protect. I don’t think a generator or inverter is likely to have issues so if it were me, I would probably put one between the shore power cord and the transfer switch. That way even your transfer switch itself is protected. It may come down to wiring and mounting convenience.
