Hello all,
Just picked up my Tab last week!!!
I have been scouring this and other forums regarding how to properly ground my inverter and I am coming to conflicting conclusions about what should be a simple answer.
I am going to replace the single LiFePo battery with a pair of matched ones in parallel. No problem there. I want add a Renogy 2000 watt inverter but NOT integrate with the RV's AC system. I just want to hook it across the batteries and have access to AC for running a laptop or maybe to hook the microwave into. If I simply replace the existing battery with this new pair, they should charge normally via solar, the hitch connector and shore power.
The seems easy with the exception of the DC side ground on the inverter.
I believe I have found the AC chassis ground coming out of the fuse box. It is a bare copper wire going through the floor. I have not found a DC ground. In the battery compartment, there is a bus bar with two brass bolts labeled "To battery minus" and "To system minus". I believe this is tied to DC ground, but not sure.
So where should I run the ground wire?
Also the Renogy manual specifies 12AWG wire for the ground on a 2000 watt inverter and the terminal lug on the inverter is pretty small. This seems way to small since the battery cables are 1/0? Any thoughts?
Thanks alot in advance.
Dave
