Some of Xantrex's smaller inverters explicitly state that they are not bonded and hence you have a floating neutral with ~60V relative to ground.
Seems to me you're confusing G-N bonding a floating neutral output with a particular wiring scheme used in some inverter designs in which the neutral is 60/60 centre bonded so the neutral and ground are intended to always always remain ~ 60 volts apart, thereby eliminating any possibility of G-N bonding the unit. I own a Motomaster branded true sign wave inverter sold here in Canada by Canadian Tire and because it is not a 60/60 neutral center bonded design it can be G-N bonded, which is necessary if I want to feed it's output through my Progressive Industries EMS-HW30C surge protector as the EMS would otherwise detect what it thinks is an "open ground" error and not pass the signal.
