Not going through the NEC, but it doesn't make sense to me to put in an
OCPD greater than the rating of the switch. I am sure you can find in
the spec sheet what the maximum OCPD allowed is. Chris

Fellow Wrenches, I'm having a discussion with a utility engineer
regarding the following situation:
Installing a 6kW inverter that has a full rated output of 25 amps.
80% of 30 is 24. That means to me I need to go up to a 40 amp
breaker. I'm running #8 (continuous load 25 x 1.25 etc.)
The engineer believes I should use a 60 amp disco since it's on a 40
amp breaker. My thinking is I can use a 30 amp disco since it can not
produce more than 25 amps ever.
Do any of you have a reference that shows what I'm doing is okay? Not
okay?
Thanks again,
Greg Egan
