Fellow Wrenches, I'm having a discussion with a utility engineer
regarding the following situation:<br>
<br>
Installing a 6kW inverter that has a full rated output of 25 amps.
80% of 30 is 24. That means to me I need to go up to a 40 amp
breaker. I'm running #8 (continuous load 25 x 1.25 etc.) <br>
The engineer believes I should use a 60 amp disco since it's on a 40
amp breaker. My thinking is I can use a 30 amp disco since it can
not produce more than 25 amps ever. <br>
<br>
Do any of you have a reference that shows what I'm doing is okay?
Not okay? <br>
<br>
Thanks again, <br>
