Hi .. I seem to be joining the P237C club with my 22 PB. A couple of questions ...
Some other threads are saying, running in tow mode will not engage the EV system and helped someone through a long trip to avoid coolant leak? I'm couple of hours from the dealer, would I want to drive down in...
"The biggest learning is that no 2 experts agree with each other :ROFLMAO: j/k"
HEY, something we can agree on! I'm the furthest thing from an expert though. I can tell you for sure that my Magnum inverter does not bond, it expects it at the panel. I talked to Magnum today and asked if they...
Can you explain to me how to properly install the neutral and ground please? Ignoring the ProPower altogether, when I was using my Firman generator, etc., how should that panel be wired?
Probably makes very little difference but just so you're aware, I'm in Canada, so not looking at NEC. I don't know if CEC is nearly identical but NEC is referenced so often in these posts. I'm not in the states.
UPDATE… I reconnected the ground at the plug and removed the ground wire from the neutral bus in the panel. The system is working. When the truth is on it works which I expected it too and it also works with the truck off, running on batteries. Is there a safety concern with this? From what I...
Now that I’ve confirmed I can at least get the truck to work with the system, what would happen if I hook the ground back to the plug and remove the ground from my panel at the neutral bus? The bond will be at the truck. When I’m not using the truck and running off of batteries/solar do I need a...
Can anyone comment on this .. Is my panel bonded neutral by having the ground wire connected to the neutral bus? If I were to disconnect that big ground wire and connect it to a ground lug on the panel instead, and then run a jumper from the neutral bus to the bonding screw, I'd achieve the same...
Ok, here are some pictures of my setup. I don't know what other info. to provide. I've gotten so many responses on this thread that while it's been helpful to learn and it's appreciated it, I don't have a clear answer of what to do and am more confused than when I made the post.
Better pictures. From the inverter my two hots go into the main 60 amp breaker, neutral (blue) into the neutral bus and ground into ground screw. Is that screw on the right by my neutral bar the bond screw? How can I unbound temporarily to see if pro power will work. The ground attached to the...
Made it to cabin tonight. I tried a few things that people had suggested throughout the week but still ground fault every time at the truck. Here’s a picture of my inverter where my generator L14 plug wires into and then wires out to my ac panel in the cabin. Panel picture as well.
Yves, thanks. I’m not going to cut corners or be unsafe that’s why I am looking around so much on here and appreciate all the feedback. I was just confused when talking to the company that makes my solar inverter that he seemed quite confident that I’m going to need to hook up the ground from my...
LOL, once I get up there this evening I'll include pictures. The following are from the Magnum 4024PAE inverter manual. Does any of this lead you to believe that my cable that comes from my generator (the L14-30 plug) and goes into this Magnum inverter would not have the ground connected to in...
Right, so my panel has the black and red ran to it from the inverter. When I got the place, only the one hot (black or red I forget) was hooked into the inverter input and the second was capped and set aside. That's because the previous owners only had a 120v generator. When I got one with a 240...
Mine can do both. When I got the cabin it was setup 120 only, and I changed it to 240 however I don't have any 240 plugs in the cabin so I'm not sure I really need it other than I was told it's easier/better for the generator to be setup that way since it runs off both legs (hots). Does that...
