I'm trying to understand if I'm missing some complexity here, because to me it seems very straightforward. The PV panels are the "other power supply source" mentioned in the definition of Feeder. The inverter doesn't really enter into it, anymore than a non-SDS transformer would enter into it.My position is simply that the language is too ambiguous with respect to PV systems. In any system with an inverter you would need to characterize the inverter as something that appears in the definitions of branch circuits and feeders, and it is not clear how to do so.
Since the original discussion is about outdoor PV conductors between two structures, let me ask you this: are the requirements for practical safeguarding different in the case of AC conductors versus DC conductors? Should article 225 apply in one case and not the other? If so, what is different about AC versus DC?
