[RE-wrenches] Line Side Feed In and Disconnects

[Joel Davidson]

Hello Wayne,

Correct me if I am misunderstanding you. You have had to install an AC disco between the inverter and the service panel backfeed breaker. Now you have to install another AC disco between the first AC disco and the service panel. Huh?

  Hello Wrenches,

  Here in Gainesville, Fla. we have recently adopted a Feed In Tariff. 
  So, now we are supposed to directly feed the line side of the utility meter (essentially a new service). No big deal. 
  As usual we use an AC disco between the inverter and the grid. However, the permit department is requiring that we install and additional disco between the existing service feed and the distribution panel to group all disco's in the same location. This especially adds an additional expense when dealing with 3 phase systems as well as the raises the question, is this really the National Electrical Code or just an interpretation? Your thoughts?

  I got mine from "the knife and tool store" http://myworld.ebay.com/don19470/ on E bay. nice tool, adjustable 10 - 50 In Oz and he has others, just get the adapter that lets you use 1/4" drive bits and your good to go. It is a german tool and i use it on all breaker connections as well as others.

  Later,
  Bob

    We have a great torque wrench for snugging down module clamps, Sharp SRS bolts, etc. What do folks use to insure that wire terminals are torqued to spec? We’re talking 1.1 to 3.3 N-m (10-30 in-lbs). I’m imagining something compact like an over-sized screwdriver.
