How do I determine what AIC Rating I need for a proposed breaker.
There is an existing main panel (120/240V, 450A 1Ph, 3W) feeding an existing subpanel. I have to remove the subpanel and replace it w/ a 250A 2 pole breaker to feed a new panel. How do I determine the interrupting rating for my breaker? My contract plans states that the (N) breaker shall match the existing interrupting rating.
