When our inverter is plugged to shore, the grounding is as previously
suggested: neutral is UNbonded from the shell/chassis ground and the
system then depends on grounding through the pedestal to the service
panel. On unplugging the ground reverts to the shell/chassis.
Question (referring back to the previously envisioned scenario of the
kid climbing into the Airstream, in the rain, with one foot still in
the mud): if the inverter is on and 120 volts gets to the shell,
whether directly or via a short to ground, is the kid zapped? Or do all
those little electrons prefer to run right back to the battery? (Assume
no GFI and a breaker that's slow to trip.)
Thanks,
Rob
