Thoughts on grounding using Victron Lynx Distribution System
Looking at using the following equipment for Lithium batteries with Lynx Distribution System.
Lynx Power-In
LynxSmart Shunt 1000 VE.Can
Lynx Distributor
Orion TR Smart Isolated Charger
Multiplus II
MPPT Solar Charger
Cerbo GX
Cerbo Touch Screen 50
I've seen the ground done a couple different ways and wondering what thoughts people have on either way.
Power-In, Shunt and Distributor are all bolted together (creating one big busbar).
Batteries and Equipment (except the Orion Charger) positive and negative wires are run to the Lynx Distributor.
One way, ground is run from Lynx Distributor to chassis and that's the only ground wire run. I have seen it done this way and place supplying the equipment suggested this method.
2nd way is to run ground from Lynx Distributor to Chassis, then run another ground wire from Power-In to Multiplus and then a ground from the Multiplus to the MPPT.
Thanks,

Thanks to both of you for your responses. I've spent hours researching before and after posting my question and unable to find a definitive answer regarding grounding. I'm going to ground the frames of the Multiplus and MTTP to the Power-In negative busbar after seeing TerryH's post. In my case the Power-In is before the Lynx Shunt. According to Victron manual for the Distributor or the Multiplus, grounding should be after the Shunt. Don't know if they are referring to the busbar's chassis ground and the Multiplus frame ground is not what they are referring to. After reading similar questions in boating forums the American Boat and Yacht Standards says to ground to the device frames to the busbar and there is one connection from the busbar to the engine casing (chassis in our RV case). I'm still looking though for an explicit answer, including making sure the question to my equipment supplier and their answer is correctly understood on both our parts.
Thanks again for taking the time to respond.
