I am installing one of those MS SS 300W PSW converters. I will be using a separate 120V outlet.
I can't see why I would want to connect the AC ground to the frame because it cannot go to ground unless I am plugged into shore power.
Same for the DC ground. I have bench run several tests without any grounding from the inverter. Why do I need to use the ground to frame at all for a totally isolated system that is only connected to battery + and -?
I have a few devices I would just like to leave on the inverter for simplicity.
