Hello. Live in apartment, and grid Neutral and Ground is jointed. Found many solutions how to correct conect neutral and earth on AC out, but looking for Victron manual what is correct and can’t find it.
For now best what I found is joint Neutral from AC in to AC out with permanent joint, and make configuration in veconfig Grid code with neutral in-out connected.
Anybody seen maybe official manuals?
We need more details. ESS or not, is everything connected on AC-Out or not? Does your system have separate N and PE in the distribution panel, going to the outlets, or is there only L and N to the outlets and PE is bridged in every outlet?
Not ESS, just backup ups mode. From grid I get only grounded neutral and L. Inside i have distribution panel, and almost all outlets have L N and PE . For now is only L and N connected to AC in and OUT, but is not grounded and is not good, especially in inverting mode. So looking for Victron manual for this kind of connection for Multiplus II, but can’t find.
Simply split the PEN into a separate N and PE at the distribution box. Then lead L and N to your multi via a 100mA or 300mA residual current device and you’re done.
All TN-C house connections first become TN-S … so PEN becomes N and PE … There is always a connection somewhere.

I understand it will work, like other options too. Question is how make it correct and listed by hardware producer. I can make many different ways, but what is right one ?
The Multi is therefore a normal electrical device which MUST be connected as required by the local and technical conditions.
Nobody is going to tell you or write to you here how it is CORRECT.
Local regulations and / or rules would be important for this.

I’m just worrying about inverter, just don’t want to broke it, so looking forr Victron manual for this situation, must be somwhere for sure.
You dont need a grid code unless you want to use ESS. For inverter mode it is not required. The PE N connection is made inside the unit when in inverter mode using a relay and this setting in ve config. The PE N connection will ensure an RCD will work but on the AC out you will need an RCD. You will know you have a PE N connection when you test the RCD and it trips.
Thanks for all advices, just found what I’m looking for

In this official document I have all explained.
