More details on the ground relay

Greetings Victron Community

Can someone provide more details on the internal ground relay itself. Are there any specifications and/or standards the relay is adhering to and what other safety features are included to ensure the ground relay is always in a working condition and that the neutral earth bridge is properly established.

Thank you in advance

@Faure When in inverter mode, If you check voltage on output between neutral and earth and it is zero, the ground relay is working.

Dear Trevor, thank you and noted. I however would like to know what specifications and/or standard does that relay and the working of that relay adhere to as this is a critical safety feature for networks with TN-S earthing arrangements. I expect this relay not to be a standard of the shelve relay, hence the request for more technical details. Would you be able to assist?
