Hello all,
2014 deleted 705.12(D)(7), which covered tying into sub panels(solar). The replacement is the all encompassing 705.12(D)(2)(3), and specifically, the 3 options(a-c).
My question.
In this new code section, do any of these options overrule another? For example, I have a project that complies under option 2 but will not under option 3 due to the sum of the branch circuits.
I don't understand why the sum of the Circuit breaker ratings would be considered as apposed to the the actual accumulative load.
I have a 225/200 MSP with a 125/100 sub. I intend to install 50 amps of backfeed breaker in the sub. It falls under the 120% rule (now 705.12(D)(2)(3)(b)...) in both locations. However, b/c the sum of the branch circuit breaker ratings exceeds the bus's rating, I have no room for a backfeed....at least according to 705.12(D)(2)(3)(c).
thoughts?
