Yes! Preferably a good one! Any lightning induced surge will then go to ground.

I'm not an electrician, but I would think it would need to be grounded... otherwise where would the surge go? I happened to have an electrician in my house for other things when this arrived, so I asked him how I should ground this. He just took it and hooked it up to the neutral/grounding wire in a nearby unused outlet and said it is now grounded with the rest of the house. I can still use that outlet too.

Under the National Electrical Code , yes it should be grounded but the N.E.C. Does not come into play for off grid systems that are not connected to Utility Power AND all voltages are under 80 volts D.C. Yes the ah. Rating is for the 20 hour rate for automotive and deep cycle Batteries

The fuse block does not get grounded. The items like lights, radios, fans or anything hooked to each fuse will be grounded after the voltage has passed through it. Hope this helps.

It is grounded but does not have a reset button...don't think it is needed on this...

If a device only has two prongs, that means there are no metal parts inside it that need to be grounded - it is safe to plug in. As a general rule, plugs in the United States are designed so that if it's physically possible to plug it in without adapters, it is safe to do so. Source: I'm an electrician.

Yes - it will be grounded to the house ground. But you will have a double neutral bond unless you disconnect the bond at the gen (see the manual) or use neutral switching transfer panel (still works though). Used as standalone not connected to house it is recommended to use a grounding rod even though it is neutral bonded.

They need to have an AC plug in to work, but that is your only limitation. Very portable as long has you have an outlet

I bought the ones for the UK and they were grounded. It appears that the Type L ones are grounded as well.

No , you must hook them up to 110/220, they have battery back up for power outages only

The 3rd hole of your outlet has to be grounded & there is a tester included in the pkg you will receive w/ your sheet. If your outlet is not grounded there is a rod included to set outside the window in the ground w/ an extremely long cord on it to connect your sheet. Very clever and well made. If you test your outlet and find that it is grounded you do not have to use the grounding rod. Just plug the cord into the hole in your outlet and your sheet is now grounded.

Yes, this unit will only work when it's grounded. Always follow the manufactures instructions when wiring.

Yes, you plug them directly into the wall. They are all 110 V grounded plugs.

No. You can use the ground rod on a camping trip, in a strange building with no way of checking the outlets, etc, but if your house outlets are properly grounded, you do not need the grounding rod.

Typically they are grounded to the center screw of a nearby (grounded) outlet. In this case, I had to extend the short wire to get it to reach.

yes you really should ground the system otherwise you will have a floating neutral situation which is not very good for most power sensitive appliances etc.

The circuit has to be completed somehow so if they are not standing on the ground then they have to be touching something else that is touching the ground. I just use a piece of metal that has an insulated handle (shovel, rake, big screwdriver) to test the circuit (see if there is a electric spark) as your pets would touch it.

Yes. They are turned on by supplying a ground to the pin so no controller is required.
