Why connect the Negative DC battery terminal or busbar to Ground
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.
ABYC/ISO AC-DC grounding requirements
5.1 The system type shall be either a fully insulated two-wire DC system or a two-wire DC system with negative ground. Engine-mounted wiring systems can use the engine block as the grounded conductor. For DC systems with a negative ground, the main grounding/earthing point shall be either: a) the engine negative terminal; or b) a main grounding
Should Negative on Battery Bank Be tied to Ground?
Normally what is done is to ground reference the battery bank (to a ground rod, cold water pipe, and the same ground rod/water pipe as your AC system green wire safety ground too). 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.
