<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Century Gothic"><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic"'>When the subpanel is fed with 380A wire
and the OCD is 400A and the panel bus is 400A, which number would be used for
determining 120% capacity?</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Century Gothic"><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic"'>I’m thinking the 400A because the
bus would be overfed before the wire?</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Century Gothic"><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic"'>So if we want to land 225A of OCD for
solar output on the line terminals or a backfed breaker, we need to derate
existing OCD to subpanel all the way to 255A, or realisitically 250A if the
load calcs allow it.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Century Gothic"><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic"'>Or replace the feeders serving the
subpanel. Yeah, right.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Century Gothic"><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic"'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Century Gothic"><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic"'>While for this one it does not end up
mattering, it raises the question.</span></font></p>
