  • Page 24 to the practical application, the PV array's negative terminals, battery, and load can also be ungrounded. Simultaneously, the grounding terminal on the shell must be grounded, which effectively shields the electromagnetic interference from the outside and prevents some electric shock to the human body due to the electrification of the shell. For common-negative systems, such as the RV system, it is recommended to use a common-negative controller.
