[RE-wrenches] Sizing 3 phase OCPD - main

2011-11-16 Thread Rebekah Hren
Hi wrenches,  I have a question about sizing the main OCP breaker for a panel combining the output of several true three-phase output inverters. To be precise - 10 of the  Refusol 20kW, which connect to  480V/277 Y with a max output of 24.1 amps, each inverter has a 3 pole breaker, line a, b, c
