Magnum inverter.
We have moved on from rewiring my friends solar system. He's somewhat disappointed in Blue Skys method of only letting you see ah used and battery state of charge AFTER the system is 100% charged. I t...

I got to the point of disconnecting everything but the inverter power terminal output. I can still read 48 v at the inverter 120 terminals to the frame. I took him through the history of this whole thing.
He gets a minor shock when he touches the steel mini blinds, microwave steel interior, and many other things inside and out.
He had the inverter installed 4.5 yr ago when he started using the TT.
He has always gotten shocks. He never used the TT without the inverter.
He gets a shock when everything is off. NO generator. No shore power. No inverter.
He cant plug into his sons gfci plug out at the garage because it trips. He removes the gfci it and installs a regular receptical. We totaly isolated his TT circuits.
I said do you get shocked at friend 2's rig, at walmart, at your truck? No, no, no, just at this trailer. I isolated all the house circuits and removed the wire nuts to the hots and neutrals. Searched for a bond on all that stuff. Removed the ground wire from the inverter case. Shut off all breakers in main and sub panel. The hot lead was disconnected from his wfco converter when the magnum was installed. (Humm, I didn't remove his old wfco neutral and ground from the neutral and ground bars but I think it still has 12 volts, back feed capacitor from wfco???)
Removed the screws that hold the inverter to the basement floor.
To get shocks with everything shut down it almost seems that there could be an inverter problem and a capacitor is shorting to the negative cable????
Or as I mentioned above could the wfco charge the frame?? Need to totally disconnect wfco. Maybe having the hot off freaks it out or it has a problem????
I'm not an electronics guy. I have often looked at various circuit boards and repaired a solder joint here or there over the years but I dont know if it's possible for an inverter to do something like that?
As I think about it more the wfco needs to be totally isolated. I should doubt wfco far sooner than magnum.
