- LOAD LETTER
To calculate the kilowatt (kW) from the current rating in a breaker panel for appliances, follow these steps:
- Determine the current rating of the appliance in amperes (A).
- Identify the voltage of the circuit (2 pole -240V or 1pole- 120V).
- Power KW= V*A*1000
- For example, if an appliance has a current rating of 10A and operates on a 240V circuit, the power rating would be 2400W (10A x 240V). If the appliance operates on a 120V circuit, the power rating would be 1200W (10A x 120V).

All Projects
- Provide a one-line diagram showing how the solar panels, inverters, meters, and grid connect.
- All interconnections must be behind the utility meter.
- The grounding electrode conductor (GEC) to the PV AC service disconnect must comply with Section 250.64(D)(1), showing the GEC tap from the main service panel and the attachment method.
- An AC disconnect must be installed to isolate the system from the grid.
Battery Projects
- Install an external blade AC disconnect near the utility meter that isolates all generation sources, including battery backups.
- Follow the Battery Backup ELD example for approved configuration.
- Battery Backup ELD example
- Install Reqs
- Installed all equipment necessary to complete the interconnection, including but not limited to a lockable, Company accessible load breaking manual disconnect switch on each Generator to disconnect the Generator
