In case of battery negative grounding and multiplus primary ground (chassis), information advice you to use same size that dc main cables as you suggest in no. 1a (or fuse rated). But which cross-section you suggest for the one earthing point to stake/rod/connection from the main grounding busbar?
The negative battery pole is connected to the car’s frame, and each element that is connected to the positive pole has its negative terminal connected to the frame. DC power is a unidirectional current, so electricity flows out of the positive pole and returns through the vehicle frame to complete the connection.
Direct current circuits that have the negative pole of the power supply connected to the ground source are negatively grounded electrical systems. Typically the positive pole connects to one or more devices on the circuit, which have their negative terminals connected to the same ground source to complete the circuit.
Typically the positive pole connects to one or more devices on the circuit, which have their negative terminals connected to the same ground source to complete the circuit. A common application of this grounding technique is found in most automobiles where the vehicle’s 12-volt battery is the DC power source.
I today confused the entire company (we work on batteries for trains) when I stumbeled about the following fact: When you touch the negative pole of a battery having electromagnetically isolated shoes, without touching its other end, nothing happens to you. I thought: No. The battery has an surplus of (negatively charged) electrons.
Grounding directly to the negative post is a fire hazard at worse, and an unnecessary risk to your equipment at best. Battery post connections also increase likelihood of ground loops and ground conducted noise. On a personal note, I'm not sure why USA and Japanese manufacturers instruct people to connect things to the negative terminal.

$begingroup$ CONSIDER a system with metal case grounded to 12V negative, with 12V positive well isolated from user contact making 12V user contact very low possibility. Then float the AC supply. Make it very hard to contact either AC leg. || In outdoor situations if you get good contact between user and ground and between one DC battery pole and ground and …

AC electrical engineers hung ''Chassis Ground'' on vehicles a long time ago, which got shortened to ''Ground''. Vehicles are still DC, there is no ''Earth Ground'', and there *Should* be a clean negative path back to the battery for every positive wire that goes to lights & accessories, but it''s ''Cheaper'' to attempt to use the body/frame and call it ...
DC distribution systems are typically ungrounded for reliability. In any system, all ungrounded legs must be protected so ungrounded DC panelboards have two pole breakers …
The negative terminal of the battery is connected to your car body, so you can connect your siren''s negative terminal directly to your closest ground point (car metal body). There''s no reason to have multiple cables on your battery''s terminal. Cable harness will be more organised.
When you ground the battery bank (negative battery bus ground bonding to ground rod/cold water pipe/etc.) it makes sure that the negative terminal can never get above zero volts. So shorting the negative wiring cannot cause a "short circuit" or over current situation and you only need fuses/breaker in the + leads (DC input to inverter, any 24 ...
The matter of grounding DC supplies can be split into three separate topics: Examining the most critical aspect: is it required by an NEC regulation? If not, it must be examined on a case-by-case basis, weighing the rationale for bonding the DC output to ground; Finally, contrasting that with negative impacts that arise from such a connection.
If the battery is grounded to the car via its negative terminal, then when you touch it, you''d already be close to its potential. Even if you touched a terminal that was a few hundred volts different, you probably wouldn''t feel anything (see the comment from the Desco site).

A loated from ground dc system with no unintentional ground paths should have zero potential between the posi-tive bus to ground and the negative bus to ground. Acciden-tal contact of either the positive bus or the negative bus by personnel should not result in an electrical shock. However, should a low-resistance ground occur on the dc system,
I believe the answer is you are not required per se to ground the battery negative, but you are required to have some sort of ground fault detection. I think code cycle matters a …
In a regular household plug-in, there are 3 prongs: positive, negative, and ground. But, when doing wiring projects, many times they refer to the negative lead as the ground. Why is it that this lead is sometimes referred …
Negative pole of the energy source attached to DC-COM This is the configuration most often used for ground referencing PV arrays or batteries. The negative pole is referenced to ground via a …
$begingroup$ The battery ends don''t have an absolute voltage (relative to ground) of 1.5V unless the negative terminal is shorted to ground. They have a voltage between the anode and the cathode of 1.5V. The absolute voltage of either end (and your own absolute voltage before touching it) is completely uncertain, and can fluctuate wildly if it is, for example, …
I believe the answer is you are not required per se to ground the battery negative, but you are required to have some sort of ground fault detection. I think code cycle matters a lot, at least for what the chapter-and-verse numbers are. …
Negative pole of the energy source attached to DC-COM This is the configuration most often used for ground referencing PV arrays or batteries. The negative pole is referenced to ground via a 1A fuse. If a ground fault occurs on any portion of the array other than the negative pole, the PV current will flow through the fuse and open it. GFDI
In most cases, signals between devices are carried on pairs (or more) of wires, one of which is "ground" — connecting the two devices so that they agree on what 0 V is — and the other carries the signal relative to that ground.
If the battery is grounded to the car via its negative terminal, then when you touch it, you''d already be close to its potential. Even if you touched a terminal that was a few …
Mesa, Thanks for the feedback. You may well already have it this way, but FYI if some don''t, while I have my battery bank Negative frame grounded, the big main Negative cables from the Charger and Inverter and to the main DC Distribution Panel and Genset etc I HAVE CONNECTED DIRECT TO THE BATTERY NEGATIVE BUSS/TERMINAL IE I DO NOT …
On the other hand, using a system ground allows you to FUSE only the POSITIVE leads, instead of fuse both sides (Plus and Minus). In case of a faulty situation (where e.g. insulation of a DC …
Someone trying to be helpful flipped the battery around, connecting negative to ground. This made the engine crank backwards! So I had spark, compression, and fuel but it wouldn''t start. This got me thinking: Positive ground was very common, especially on 6V system on work machines. Today almost all vehicles are negative ground.

Ground fault detection systems provide a means for indicating or measuring current leakage paths between ground and the positive or negative terminal of a battery or battery charger. This …
Use one ground only, close to the battery. The battery poles are supposed to be safe to touch. The battery ground should therefore be the most reliable and visible ground connection. The DC ground cabling should have a sufficient thickness to be able to carry a fault current at least equal to the DC fuse rating.
DC distribution systems are typically ungrounded for reliability. In any system, all ungrounded legs must be protected so ungrounded DC panelboards have two pole breakers (or three in the case of center tapped 250VDC systems) and fused protection has fusing on each leg.

On the other hand, using a system ground allows you to FUSE only the POSITIVE leads, instead of fuse both sides (Plus and Minus). In case of a faulty situation (where e.g. insulation of a DC Plus and cable connects to a metal casing, the fuse in the Plus wire will blow (as soon enough current flows) and disconnect that device.
The negative battery pole is connected to the car''s frame, and each element that is connected to the positive pole has its negative terminal connected to the frame. DC power is a unidirectional current, so electricity flows out of the positive pole and returns through the vehicle frame to complete the connection.
