In a hospital project I am reviewing, there is an emergency switchboard feeding a distribution panel with main CB through a transformer. The coordination study is saying the breaker feeding the transformer isn't sized correctly to handle the inrush, so either breaker could trip.
My question is this...does it really matter which breaker trips? Either way, the distribution panel is out. There is already an exception to 700.27 for same size OCPD's in series. How is this any different, outcome-wise? :-?
