Ac Output Neutral Bonding - Xantrex Freedom Xi 807-1000 Installation Manual

AC Output Neutral Bonding

The neutral conductor of the Freedom Xi's AC output circuit (that
is, AC Output Neutral) is automatically connected to the safety
ground during inverter operation.
this connection is not present, so that the utility neutral (that is, AC
Input Neutral) is only connected to utility ground at your source.
This conforms to the National Electrical Code (NEC), which
requires that separately derived AC sources (such as inverters and
generators) have their neutral conductors tied to ground in the same
way that the neutral conductor from the utility is tied to ground in
only one place. Check the regulations for your specific application
to ensure that the installation will comply with the necessary
requirements. In other words, the AC Input Neutral and Output
Neutral must be isolated from each other.

When AC utility power is present
AC Grounding
As per UL458 SA29.5, for all permanently connected marine
inverters: The Freedom Xi models should be connected to a
grounded, metal, permanent wiring system. Also, make sure that an
AC ground wire is connected to the AC ground terminal on the unit.
Do not just connect the line and neutral wires.
All connections to the unit should comply with all local codes and
ordinances.
