Grounding
Install a copper ground rod within 1 m (3 ft.) of the Xantrex GT100 E enclosures
per the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70. The single-point ground for the
system is to be made at the ground bar (TB1) in the main inverter enclosure.
The chassis ground is made at the same bus bar in the main inverter enclosure
(TB1) and has a 12 mm bolt for terminating the DC ground. The ground
conductor size depends on the size of the main circuit breaker. NEC Table
250.122 (Ninth Edition) requires that the ground conductor be at least #3 AWG
for a 400 A circuit breaker and #6 AWG for a 200 A circuit breaker.
The equipment ground on the Xantrex GT100 E is marked with PE.
