I need some help with filling in 2 questions on the G83 form ...doh


[FONT=&quot]Maximum peak short circuit current (A)[/FONT] ?
[FONT=&quot]Type of prime mover and fuel source[/FONT] ?
 
Some DNO's (including mine) ask for Max peak Short Circuit current (A) at 230volts. What do you put then? Panels aren't at 230V?
 
Must admit, I've always put Isc even though I'm not 100% sure it's correct or indeed relevant. I suppose the max inverter output current would go in there, if it was available? Which it's not always.

Then there's this from the inverter G83 certificate:

"6. FAULT LEVEL CONTRIBUTION
As Photovoltaic SSEGs are inverter connected, they are deemed to automatically comply with regulations and
no further tests are required"

Is that the manufacturer saying "Meh, don't worry about it"?

Me to! As our DNO don't know how to reply to notification I don't worry about it either.
 
Wont the value be the maximum output current of the inverter, so that they can verify that you wont exceed the 16A/phase limit on G83?
