    Are you asking how to ground the frame? Or the neutral of the output?

    I can direct you to the IEEE Green Book on Grounding.

    http://www.greendiamond.dsskcorp.com/gdi/Books/IEEE/142-1991%20Grounding%20of%20Industrial%20and%20Commerc ial%20Power%20Systems.PDF

    You also need to determine, assuming there is a transfer switch involved, whether it will switch the neutral or not.

    This is important in regards to grounding the neutral.
