As I described, the terminal strip has no ground connection. It is not clear whether the third pin on the AC outlets is grounded to that grounding post. He cannot get to his inverter very well, and he would have to turn it all off to check it with a continuity meter (he will test it...sometime)....Maybe you can be our "ground slueth". You can check for continuity between the ground post and the third pin on those sockets. They might all go to the chassis ground....in which case....then you could use the chassis post as your main ground post. He is doing something quite different. He is using the point on the Puritan Ground filter as his main ground point.....and this is where his wire comes from his grounding rod. He only uses one socket on the Inverter because he needs more than the 6 on the Puritan.....and maybe that is why he thought it might have sounded better without a ground wire on the Giandel.....if his component that he plugs into the Giandel regular socket already has a ground wire going to the main grounding point then plugging it into the Giandel might create a ground loop if "INDEED" the sockets are grounded. I hope this all makes sense.I have put a pic of the insides of the Giandel 5000 watter on my site.....this thing is made really well......There are just two wires coming from the main board to the jack board.....so "true ground" is not used by the inverter. You can see the two black wires coming from the Jack board to the terminal strip.
