19、 power sources. The total rating of allovercurrent devices supplying the switchboard shall not exceed the rating of the switchboard.RATIONALE FOR DECISION:NEC Article 705 includes requirements for the interconnection of non-utility electric power productionsources. These requirements detail how thes

20、e sources are to be integrated with a power distributionsystem. These sources include on-board utility interactive inverters and do not need the type ofsynchronization equipment required in a “double-ended” switchboard configuration. This CRD applies theterminology in clause 3.27 of UL 891 when refe

21、rring to a “multiple source” switchboard by renamingSection 8.6.5 as “Double-ended switchboard (multiple sources)”. Along with this renaming, two newSections (6.3.4.4 and 8.6.5A) are introduced to address “Switchboards marked for use withinterconnected electric power production sources”. These new s

22、ections are similar to ones added to theStandard for Panelboards, UL 67, and include provisions for connection of the alternate source to eitherSTANDARD NUMBER: UL 891 -2-UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION ORDISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL(a) the supply, or (b) t
