"the maximum load connected between the neutral and any one ungrounded
[10] conductor plus the inverter [9] output rating shall not exceed the
ampacity [5] of the neutral conductor [6]."
So the neutral conductor is supposed to be sized for the connected load
plus the entire maximum output of the inverter?

705.95 AMPACITY OF NEUTRAL CONDUCTOR
National Electrical Code 2017 of New York State [1] > 7 Special Conditions [2] > 705 Interconnected Electric Power Production Sources [3] > 705.95 Ampacity of Neutral Conductor [4]
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
The ampacity [5] of the neutral conductors [6] shall comply with either (A) or (B).
(A) NEUTRAL CONDUCTOR FOR SINGLE PHASE, 2-WIRE INVERTER OUTPUT [7]
If a single-phase, 2-wire [8] inverter [9] output is connected to the neutral and one ungrounded [10] conductor (only) of a 3-wire [8] system or of a 3-phase, 4-wire [8], wye-connected system, the maximum load connected between the neutral and any one ungrounded [10] conductor plus the inverter [9] output rating shall not exceed the ampacity [5] of the neutral conductor [6].
(B) NEUTRAL CONDUCTOR FOR INSTRUMENTATION, VOLTAGE, DETECTION OR PHASE
DETECTION [7]
A conductor used solely for instrumentation, voltage [11] detection, or phase detection and connected to a single-phase or 3-phase interactive inverter [12], shall be permitted to be sized at less than the ampacity [5] of the other current-carrying conductors and shall be sized equal to or larger than the equipment grounding conductor [13].

HI All,
Where do I find in the code how to size a sense only neutral wire for GT
inverter.
thanks
