    Alternatives to natural gas fed Capstone Microturbines

    The Capstone product line appears stable and effective. The initial capital cost can be hard to swallow. What are alternative technologies and their manufacturers of lower kW (50 to 150kW) three phase power sources are on the market? The need is for grid isolated systems. Thanks!

    What is an &quot;alternating-current adjustable voltage motors&quot; in 430.6(C)

    My search and understanding of 430.6(C) is becoming less elusive. Thank you CJCPE. I am trying to understand the Code in selecting the minimum size of motor circuit conductors from a VFD to a motor. 430.120 does not modify provisions of Part 1 to Part IX, so no help there. The manufacturer is...
