I have already had this answered via the grounding forum, but on the off chance their is a different view from the PV forum related to inverters I will post the same question:
I have three independent 10 kw solar inverters.
Two outputing three-phase 220 volts A/C and one outputing single phase 220 AC.
Each one powers separate circuits not wired to each other to devices not wired to each other and not connected to mains.
Each has to be grounded similar to the house mains.
The are mounted side-by-side but not interconnected via neutrals or loads.
I need to ground them to the grounding rod that the mains use.
The question:
What would go wrong if I connected the ground post of one inverter to the ground post of next inverter to the ground post of the next inverter then using a single wire, connect to the ground rod?
