[RE-wrenches] Portable Solar Trailer w/ intermittent Ground Fault

[Steve Higgins]

Wayne, 

 

That's because the GVFX3524 goes not provide any support for ground
switching.   If you install a Ground switching relay and isolate the
input neutral from the output neutral bus's this will get rid of this
problem... 

 

On a side note how did you get a utility (or have you) to approve a GT
inverter on a mobile trailer?

Fault

 

Hello Wrenches,

We have a 2KW portable unit with one Outback GVFX3524. Intermittently,
we have a problem feeding GFI breakers. 
Its the strangest thing, sometimes it trips GFI's and other times it
doesn't. Aside from the possibility that some of the GFI's aren't wired
properly we haven't been able to figure it out. We have it plugged into
a GFI at the shop (which is wired properly) and there is no problem.

I thought there was a previous string on this issue but could not find
it in the archives.
What do you recommend for grounding portable units and what
recommendations do you have from personal experience?

Thanks!
