Fellow Wrenches,  I'm having a discussion with a utility engineer regarding the following situation:

Installing a 6kW inverter that has a full rated output of 25 amps. 80% of 30 is 24.  That means to me I need to go up to a 40 amp breaker.  I'm running #8 (continuous load 25 x 1.25 etc.) The engineer believes I should use a 60 amp disco since it's on a 40 amp breaker.  My thinking is I can use a 30 amp disco since it can not produce more than 25 amps ever.

Do any of you have a reference that shows what I'm doing is okay? Not okay?

Thanks again,
Greg Egan
