I need some help connecting the grounding circuit of my boat with a Multiplus compact.
I understand that the power (Line and Neutral) from shore power run directly to the Multiplus. So far so good. The grounding wire goes through a galvanic isolator. There is nothing between the galvanic isolator and shore power, and the galvanic isolator output terminates on a grounding busbar that is part of the distribution panel.
My question is, what is the best way to handle the grounding circuit for the Multiplus? The schematic shows that the Protective Earth (PE, or grounding) is not interrupted as it passes through the Multiplus. It is never disconnected.
1. Can both PE wires from AC in & AC out terminate on the Distribution Panel PE busbar?
2. Does the output from the galvanic isolator need to run directly to the Multiplus AC in, and only the PE from the Multiplus AC out terminate on the busbar?
Thanks.
