I think this is more of a design issue rather than a code question, but I have a panelboard that is rated for 25kAIC. I do not have the information about available fault current at the board, so I have to assume the worst.
I have equipment that I also do not know it's withstand rating, so it could be as little as 10kAIC. I am feeding the equipment from the aforementioned board.
Should I put in a fused disconnect for the equipment? Or will the short circuit fault protection provided by the breaker be sufficient to protect the equipment?
Thanks.
