<div>Hi Wrenches,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I know I have seen this somewhere before but can't seem to
locate it in the archives. Recently and AHJ rejected our plans
because, although we were compliant with the 120% rule applied
to the busbar on the existing sub which was our solar PCC, the
existing breaker feeding the existing sub (our PCC) exceeded the
120% as it applied to the bus in the main. I was under the
impression that the 120% applies to the bus at the PCC and that
existing equipment "downstream" or "upstream" of the PCC need
not be retrofitted to comply with the 120% rule (conductor
ampacity aside).</div>
