Peak Short Circuit Current value on the SSEG form.

[Pwee]

I've looked at the easy MCS guide on here, and it's not clear, (in my eye's) to what value you place in the part where it asks for this.

I've done a pscc test at the AC isolator with my fluke, and it's giving me a reading of 600A.

Is this what they want? There's no mention of it on the SMA inverter literature either. NAPIT mcs technical don't know either.

What do you lot put in there? It seems to be the missing link on this forum, as it's not mentioned anywhere?

I put n/a, because IIRC that is what the manufacturers put on the G83/1 test certificates for PV inverters.

I saw something like that on the fronius example on the easyMCS thread. But the actual post is telling you that you need a more in depth knowledge of pscc etc.
(I think they didn't know either to be honest.)
if that's what you put in your forms, and you haven't been arrested and thrown into mcs jail, then that's good enough for me!

p.s. I asked the NAPIT guy if all else fails, I could ask my assessor when he comes next week. He said "you'll probably know more than him!"
Just goes to show, that they are only bothered about the paperwork sytems, and not the values written in the boxes.
(That's a bit tongue in cheek, if the Napit assessor is reading this.)

I have put down the PSCC (600amps) for over 200 G/83 forms and all have been accepted.

Cheers mate.

Looks like the Easy MCS thread is very misleading then. I wish we get 200 installs to do, but after the cut, I doubt it.

I'm sure you could put anything you liked and there would be no comment from the DNO

the way i answered this question is by taking it straight off the data sheet for the inverter? it states on there peak short circuit. dont know whether thats right or not, but that was my interpretation
