Hi Everyone,
I have:
- normal house grid system
- Victron Phoenix 12V/500VA inverter and two 12V 65Ah batteries connected in parallel
- Vaillant gas heater (220V/145W) normally connected to house grid.
My goal is to create backup power supply for gas heater in case normal power is down. In case of outage, I will unplug gas heater from normal 220V house plug and plug it in my inverter.
My concern is grounding. Gas heater has metal case and heating radiators are ofc made of metal.
Do I need to somehow ground inverter to prevent shocks by touching heater or radiators and if so, can I connect inverter ground to normal house grid ground within some house outlet?
Tnx.
