I am new to this forum and am hoping that someone can help me with what is most likely a very simple SCCR rating calculation.
I have never calculated this rating and I have been reading a lot of material on how to do these Calculations as well as going thru many examples, however I am unsure of how to handle something that is present in one of the panels that I am trying to calculate the SCCR of.
I have attached a picture of a simple circuit that shows what I am looking at.
From what I can tell - we the panel rating would be 65kA based off the main disconnect, however with the disconnect switch on the right side (feeding the 5A 24V power supply) - that would limit the panel to 10kA... or at least that's how I am looking at it. I was thinking that this SCCR rating could be increased by looking at the Peak let thru of the fuse and adjusting the SCCR of the branch circuit accordingly... however I am not sure you can do this because the disconnect switch is listed as having the 10kA SCCR rating IF there is a protecting fuse in line with the switch.
I would really appreciate some advice/help with this.. If any additional information is needed or I am not explaining myself well, please let me know and I will do my best to fill in the blanks.
