Friends:
What Nathan says is correct. Allow me to add this tidbit: I used to think every third connector was wired to A-B, then B-C, and then A-C. This is not so. The inverters select which phases to connect to by negotiation on power-up. I am not making this up! This is what I was told..

Each micro connects to the cable in an alternating way (L1/L2, then L2/L3, then L3/L1, etc.) so with 25 micros there are either 8 or 9 micros on each combination. 9 x 1.0 A x 1.732 (square root of 3) x 1.25 = 19.48 A = 20 A breaker Cheers, -Nathan -- Nathan J.

Enphase, on their M215 datasheets claim up to 25 micros per branch, at 1.0A each, with each branch terminating at a 20A breaker. By my calculations, 25 micros at 1.0A each (25A*1.25=31.25A) need to terminate at a 40A breaker. Anyone know what I'm missing or know how the 20A breaker design gets past the AHJ?
