The Sub Panel should have two bus bars. One for Neutral, one for Ground
You connect the ground wires in the sub panel just like you do in the Main
If there is only one bus then you bond all the ground wires with a split bolt
That INCLUDES the one from the inverter.
On the inverter you should have the option to bond neutral to ground... or not
If the inverter has power pass through.. it will bond ground out to ground in when passing through.. The option only applies when inverting.
Thanks. The inverter manual says it wants an 8ga ground bond, which I've connected to the chassis. The output from the converter feeds into the transfer switch (which has a plastic case) and all the grounds in the transfer switch are connected together. Then the output from the transfer switch feeds into the sub-panel where all the grounds are tied together and I'll bond them to the metal case of the sub-panel. Then those grounds find their way to the chassis via the main panel. Is that what you mean by grounding the inverter?
