Misleading fault indications [RE-wrenches]

[William Miller]

Mark:

I do not know the value or wattage of the resistor, but I'd hazard to guess 
that this resistor is not going to trip the 175 amp inverter breaker, so, 
yes, the breaker tripping or plain being opened manually un-bonds the 
entire DC power system.  This is precisely what gives me the creeps about 
this whole concept.

Does anyone have the value of that component?
