Hi folks,
Replacing the original buzz box with a Progressive Dynamics PD9260. The original buzz box uses chassis ground for its (-) negative leg and hooks its (+) to the house fuse panel.
The Progressive Manual says:
"CAUTION RISK OF FIRE:"
" Chassis bonding wire must be a separate wire ran directly from the Grounding Lug provided on the converter. DO NOT connect Output Negative to chassis using the same wire."
So this sounds to me like they want a separate wire from the ground lug of the charger/converter to the motorhome chassis in addition to a wire from Output Negative on the charger/converter.
Is it OK to use the original buzz box negative cable connected to the Output Negative terminal on the PD 9260 and run a separate cable to chassis for the ground lug ? Or would it be preferable to run another cable from the house battery(s) to the Output Negative terminal and use the existing chassis ground cable to the PD 9260 ground lug ??
PD9200 PD9200
(+) --------------> fuse block (+) --------------> Fuse block
(-) ----------------> Chassis -or- (-) ---------------> Battery (-) terminal
(ground lug) ----> Chassis (Ground lug)------> Chassis
Thanks and best regards,
