With 4800 watts and HV input, it seems to me that a simple battery backup can be formed from an existing PV grid tie system. Block diagram attached. Where can one find a 600 volt rated DC transfer switch?Larry Original Message Subject: Re: [RE-wrenches] High Voltage MPPT units

Drake; I had trouble finding that reference, then I found it in the back in Annex B. I think that would apply to the ampacity of the DC line, but then for the 12.47 Kv line, I believe you would need Figure 310.60 which then references Tables 310.60 C (77) thru Table 310.60 c (86) Without
