Understood and not disagreeing. I'm aware of the basics of electricity, electrical design and accepted practice, and the reasons behind why things are done as they are, but what we're talking about here is outside of areas where I claimed engineering competence before I retired my license so, I defer to your lead in these matters rather than mouth off and leave no doubts as to my ignorance and hubris.
But at this time, I don't need a whole lot of technical acumen to see that the OP is looking at instructions that you're saying are at least partially incorrect and if I read what you're writing correctly, may well be troublesome if not dangerous. So, what's he to do ? Seems to me he's between a rock and a hard place: Take your advice and possibly do something counter to what's written by Morningstar, and in so doing perhaps void any warranty or chance of a successful insurance claim or lawsuit, or follow written instructions and, if you are correct (which I'm not disputing) possibly cause property damage or personal injury, or both ?
Seems to me too that until more information is conveyed between all parties and all the facts and particulars of the application are clear(er), it may be best for the OP to not connect the Morningstar product if only to cover his butt.
That's why I suggested he contact Morningstar and copy them with this entire thread and ask for their version of reality.
Does the NEC or their minions have any definitive wisdom to offer on the matters at hand ?
How about Mike Holt, et al. ?
That there are hundreds of manufactures that get Bonding and Grounding wrong seems strange. Might it have something to do with no two applications being quite the same ?
Still got your 6.
Respectfully,
