I was wondering if the 120% rule (NEC 705.12 (D)2) count on Panels up stream
I have a situation where we installed 3 2.4Kw wind turbines on a 125 amp sub panel in a shop. It has an 80 amp feeding it and 3-20 amp breakers with the turbines on them so the panel there is within the 120% rule
where the Inspector had a problem was the main panel in the shop already had a single 2.4kw turbine attached and is feed with 100 amps on a 125 amp panel feed from the main house out of a 200amp panel
He says the Main panel in the shop needs to be big enough for the 4 wind turbines and the feed from the house
Is this correct or do I treat each panel separate and if He is correct I would have to go back and change the house panel out to
