Good afternoon gentlemen. In the Bahamas, under Canadian Electrical Code, apparently, the approved method of inverter tie in is with Polaris lugs. My logic strongly resists cutting (2) brand new 4/0 cable to SPLICE in inverter feed. Then, I tried to apply my logic to NEC codes for buss bars so I could tie in through breakers in the panel. Then, I get to the Canadian Code and they don't seem to care about feeders. So, they simply slice in the inverters before the breaker panel.
Is there someone who can help apply some logic to the reason for demanding such an oversized buss when the load demand is not changed by the source of energy supplied to the load? And, why that rule overrides the logic of fewer connections and absolutely no SPLICE in a cabinet?
Please tell me there is another option than buying and 800 amp panel for a 600 demand load service, if I want to connect to through breakers.
Thanks,
Byron
