Hi,
I'm looking at a main panel with (2) 2-pole breakers in it. One is 90A and the other is 50A. The busbar rating is 125A. There is a small sticker below that reads "Each Handle In This Device Is A Service Disconnect". I've never seen this sticker before.
This appears to be what I call a "line-side panel", as the two breakers feed downstream subpanels. The PV breaker will be 20A, and I plan to quad it with the existing 50A 2-pole breaker. Do you think the inspector will try to enforce the 120% Rule for backfeeding in a situation like this? I'm a little nervous they might try to say something like: 120% x 125A = 150A.... minus 90A, minus 50A = 10A available for solar.
Does anyone have experience with this?
Thanks!
Kind Regards,
Andy
