I have a question regarding determining the interrupt rating for a control 
panel in the US.  In particular I would like clarification for the combination 
of inverters (or other equipment) with the manufacturer's recommended fusing.  
If the recommendation is followed does the assembly of the 2 components have 
the interrupt rating of the fuse?  Similarly if I have a solid state contactor 
and fuse that limits the let through current to less than the inrush current 
resistance what  rating does the combination assume.  

It is my understanding that this is the case when type 2 coordination is done 
with contactor/fuse combinations the fuse rating applies.  Does this work the 
same way or am I off base.

Thanks
