SECTION 3 | Installation
Connect the DC Grounding Terminal (5) [5 in Figs 2.1 and 3.8], to the Grounding Bus Bar (G-B) in the DC Electrical Panel
using AWG #6 insulated stranded copper wire. Similarly, use AWG #6 wire to connect the Grounding Bus Bar "G-B"
in the DC Electrical Panel to the Grounding Bus Bar "G-B" in the Grid Electrical Panel. For application of EVO™ on a
boat, the size of this wire should be of the same size or one size smaller than the battery Negative wire (See CAUTION!
above).
The connections must be tight against bare metal. Use star washers to penetrate paint and corrosion. As the Equipment
Grounding Bus Bar ("G-B") in the DC Electrical Panel is bonded to the Grounding Electrode (GE) through
Grounding Bus Bar "G-B" in the Grid Electrical Panel, the metal chassis of the EVO™ will be bonded to Earth
Ground for protection against Ground fault on the DC side of EVO™.
3.14 AC SIDE GROUNDING
3.14.1 AC Side Grounding Requirements for Generators
Small portable generators supplied with receptacles will often have the Neutral conductor bonded to the generator
frame. The frame of portable generator is normally isolated from the Earth Ground.
Larger generators typically do not have the Neutral grounded to the frame. It is to be ensured that in these generators,
the Neutral should be connected to the metal frame of the generator.
WARNING!
If a Generator is used to feed AC input, it is to be ensured that the Neutral of the Generator output is
bonded to the metal frame of the Generator.
MISE EN GARDE!
Si un générateur est utilisé pour envoyer de l'entrée CA, c'est de s'assurer que la position neutre de la
sortie du générateur est lié à la structure métallique du générateur.
3.14.2 AC Side Grounding of Typical Shore Based Installation
3.14.2.1 EVO-1212F and EVO-1224F: AC Side Grounding of Typical Shore Based Installation
Refer to the Installation Diagram for Typical Shore Based Installation for EVO-1212F and EVO-1224F at Fig 3.12.
a) AC Input Grounding: The metal chassis of EVO™ gets bonded to the Grounding Electrode (GE) / Ground Rod of
the premises as follows:
• The metal chassis of EVO™ is connected to the Grounding Pin (G) of the AC Power Inlet Plug (9)
• The Grounding Pin (G) of the AC Power Inlet Plug (9) gets connected to the Grounding Bus Bar (G-B) in the
Grid Electrical Panel through the grounding wire of AC input connection
• The Grounding Bus Bar (G-B) in the Grid Electrical Panel is bonded to Earth Ground through the Grounding
Electrode (GE) / “Ground Rod” of the premises.
