What it covers

Every load-side connection method in 705.12, worked through with field numbers: feeders and taps, the 100% and 120% rules, the method that adds up every breaker, center-fed panels in dwellings, feed-through lugs and engineered designs. Then PV plus a battery on the same bus, following source current upstream through subpanels, and three-phase examples at 208 V and 480 V. A decision flow, a field checklist and a plan-set calculation block close it out.

Want your plans checked?

The PV interconnection code check applies the same methods to one single-line diagram for a load-side PV connection, with a written review in 2 business days. The ebook is included with every review.
