Hello all,
Thanks for offering this great forum. I've browsed around here quite a bit over the last few months and have gained quite a bit of info.
I understand that the 2011 NEC includes provisions for small wind energy systems, article 964.
However, I can't figure this problem out.
I have a question relating to what size the main should be for a 10 kW 240v grid tie wind system.
Is it okay to have the wind system on a 60 amp breaker with the main being a 200 amp panel?
I understand that section 690? states that solar energy system breaker size is not to exceed 20% of the main panel amperage. Is this the same story for small wind systems too?
Thanks in advance,
Steve
