What voltage would you like it to read or what voltage are you expecting to read? If I am understanding your post, you are measuring 120V Line to Neutral and 120V Line to Ground. Ground has to "sit" somewhere and their explanation of leakage current through the components is reasonable.
If concerned about it further, then use your clamp on amp meter and measure the current on the inverter output neutral and ground and make sure you don't have any current flowing on ground. If the inverter is bonded internally and there is another bond at the main panel and you are supply 120V loads, then you would expect about half of the current to be on ground and half on neutral. -James Jefferson Jarvis APRS World, LLC +1-507-454-2727 http://www.aprsworld.com/ On Tue, Dec 10, 2024 at 5:00 PM jay via RE-wrenches < re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> wrote: > I just got an email back from them saying the following. > > > There is no solid bond but the following will allow voltage to be detected > between neutral and ground. > > - Internal EMI filters or transient suppression devices that connect > the AC lines to the ground. > - A small leakage path to ground via these components, which can > result in measurable voltage. > > Is this common with other brands such as sol ark or midnite? > > thanks > > jay > > > On Dec 10, 2024, at 2:38 PM, jay <jay.pe...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi All > > I just got off the phone with EG4 with the following situation and I > wonder if anyone has see this or can comment. > > With no wires attached, inverter ( LUX 6000XP) I read 120v from L1 to > ground and of course 120v to N.
