In these inverters, the concept of a neutral inverter does not exist as both poles are isolated from the inverter's chassis. Instead, both the Line and Neutral slots of the receptacle are at an elevated voltage, typically around 60 VAC with respect to the chassis (which is half the voltage between the two current carrying conductors).
In some inverters for portable use, the two current carrying conductors connected to the 'Line/Live/Hot' slot and the 'Neutral / Return / Cold' slot of the receptacle (for example, 15 A NEMA5-15R) are isolated from the metal chassis of the inverter.
On the output side of the inverter, before the earth leakage/ground fault switch you should have the relay linking earth and neutral, controlled by the inverter, based on commercial power being available or not... short when no commercial power, open circuit once commercial power is back on...
AIMS Tech Support says that is a normal reading as the neutral line carries voltage, (I didn't get the value), and must be left to float from ground. He also said that connecting the neutral to ground would damage the inverter. That seems like a really bad design for an inverter.
Folks, When setting up an inverter, one of the more important safety things to get correct is the grounding and the neutral-Ground bond. All of the inverters have a grounding lug All of the
