[RE-wrenches] Paralleling Multiple Inverter

[William Miller]

Jay:

Thanks for citing this section.  I reviewed it just now (2008 version) and 
I noticed that it says,  "capable of supplying multiple branch 
circuits,"  not  "actually supplying branch circuits."  Any energized 
breaker panel is capable of supplying branch circuits.  Only if you size 
the panel to fit only the inverter breakers could you being to think the 
panel is no longer capable of supplying branch circuits.  Who is to say the 
inverter breakers could not be "thinned up" to allow future branch circuit 
breakers?

To my mind, the language is not clear.
