Does the neutral of a microinverter count as a current carrying conductor for ampacity adjustment per 310.15[4][a]? (2008NEC).
Contractor has ten #12awg conductors in one conduit [combiner to subpanel]. If counted as a CCC's, then I have to adjust by 50%. If they do not count as CCC's, then I only have 5 CCC's and only adjust by 80%, Still have to deal with the rooftop adder adjustment, but I want to claify this first before I make any more adjustments. My thinking is they do count, as they are AC and they complete the circuit, but I doubt myself as I am in unfamiliar territiory plan checking and want to be sure.
Thanks in advance for your help.
My memory is going the way of my toes - I don't see either of them much anymore!
