I went in to pull a permit to do a small 9kw generator today, and ran into the inspector. He said to contact the utility to find the peak fault current for the area or something like that? I don't know what that means, I do small residential work. This is a 200A 120/240 1P 3W service, I am feeding the ATS/Loadcenter from a 50A breaker off the main panel. He said it needs to be protected from this fault current. I called a few contractors in the area and they said they haven't encountered this before.
Please explain this to me? What does he want me to do?
Please spare the harassment, this is one of the first permits I've had to pull.
