It's a real concern; some solutions and background on the issue here: http://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy09osti/45061.pdf DKC On 2014/3/27, 14:05, Karl Jaeger wrote: Esteemed Wrenches, We've recently run into an issue with a local distributor citing network fault current on a split-phase service as a reason to prevent interconnection of our customer's solar array. They've given us the options of reducing our system size from 36.5kW-DC to 15kW-DC, or having the customer upgrade to 3-phase at a soft price of $20-30K. We're looking at 32kW of inverters on a 167kVA transformer. Does anyone have experience on circumventing the issue of network fault current? Any experience with Fault Current Limiters?
