Why and how grounding is needed for Inverters
@neo_the_one The model you have posted is the one that got me confused. It does have a separate grounding post that the inverter + charger does not seem to have. I could not find anything related to grounding in the invert + charge model’s man... 
Why and how grounding is needed for Inverters
@neo_the_one, I took the time this morning to look up the unit, I believe, you are buying. Its wiring scheme is different than the 3000W unit video above. Here is the manual for this 2000W unit. (Click on the Link below.) https://www.ren... 
Why and how grounding is needed for Inverters
Here is a video for a 3000W unit. I assume the 2000W unit hook up is the same. Only grounding needed is the wall outlet receptacle safety equipment ground. Do not use a separate dedicated ground rod for an additional earth ground.     BB  
Install A Dedicated AC Line at home

Install A Dedicated AC Line at home
@dpop said: Just to clarify, AC-HCF is considered better than EMT (see the chart on Middle Atlantic’s page 13). AC-HCF is considered a 1/2" (depending on gauge of wire) steel-clad MC. I’ve posted about this before... Actually, The most effe...

Install A Dedicated AC Line at home
Would seem you need an electrician and a game plan. A simple question is can I get Dedicated 10 or 12 gauge wires from my fuse panel to my listening room. at this point it does not matter what you’re doing with it, you just want dedicated line in... 
Question about assembling my own DIY AC Cable
@carlsbad said: Do your tube amps not like shielded cables terminated on both ends (may cause ground loop) or were you saying that there is a problem if they are grounded only on one end? For a better word a shielded power cord sucks the air o...
