supplying other circuits, then NONE of the requirements of 690.64 (B) apply and
the rating of both the load center and the load center feeder need only be
sufficient to carry the connected load which would be 1.25 times the output
rating of all the inverters.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

center for things like monitoring equipment, it is reasonable that the above
remain unchanged so long as there is permanent marking stating that no
additional load circuits can be added (only supported by Code to the extent
AHJ's can make determination of acceptability.)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
