Looks like you need to block out some reading time on your schedule.
Insufficient information to determine requirements. SquareD, Siemans, and
Eaton would probably have much info on cb/fuse coordination.

Type 2 coordination is for IEC60947. Look at UL508/508A and CSA No 14, and
their intersection with NEC articles 110, 240, 408, and 690 for interrupt
requirements.

Subject: Control Panel Interrupt Ratings

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
