<p class="MsoNormal">My understanding is that IEEE 1547.1-2020 contains the details of the testing protocol so that devices CAN be listed to 1547-2018. It got published in late May 2020.

<p class="MsoNormal">Are ANY inverters listed yet? My understanding is testing is a months long process and that would if the testing facilities have finalized the process they will use.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Wrenches,<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am working on a design for an all-electric home whole-house backup. The utility is requiring either an inverter listed to IEEE 1547-2018 or utilize an effective grounding transformer with associated relay control system. Im unclear
whether the grounding transformer is on the customer side or on the utility side, but I'd prefer to avoid this if possible.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I probably need ~20kW of continuous backup in this case. I prefer to have everything stacked if possible, but I may be able to split up my critical load panels.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone worked through this issue? I was planning on Sol-Ark but they don't comply with the IEEE 1547-2018 quite yet. I'm open to suggestions.<o:p></o:p></p>
