5.2 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION, cont.
5.2.3 Grounding
The converter chassis ground MUST be connected to the ship’s hull or common ground point via
the compression fitting terminal adjacent to the output power connections. Failure to do so may
create conditions that may in turn cause injury or death to operators; failure to do so will also
result in the voiding of the equipment warranty. In the case of paralleled converter systems, and
where such ground connections are not local and directly adjacent to the paralleled converters,
the chassis ground connections must be interconnected between the paralleled converters as well
as connected to the remote ship’s common ground point.
THE CONVERTER ISOLATES THE OUTPUT POWER FROM THE INPUT
POWER AND EQUIPMENT (SAFETY) GROUNDS SIMILAR TO AN
ISOLATION TRANSFORMER. THE INSTALLER MUST RE-ESTABLISH THE
GROUND REFERENCE FOR THE EQUIPMENT AT TIME OF
INSTALLATION. THE NEUTRAL AND EQUIPMENT (SAFETY) GROUNDS
MUST TO BE CONNECTED PER THE APPROPRIATE CLASS STANDARD.
