Motors & EquipmentCâu 92 / 120
When sizing motor branch-circuit conductors and short-circuit protection, which current value must be used?
a.The locked-rotor current from the nameplate code letter
b.The motor nameplate full-load amperes
c.The full-load current from Table 430.248 or 430.250
d.The larger of nameplate current or table current
Giải thích
Conductor sizing, branch-circuit protection and disconnect rating are all based on the table values, which are conservative and independent of a particular manufacturer's nameplate. Nameplate current is used only for overload protection under 430.32, and locked-rotor current is used for withstand and disconnect horsepower comparisons, not for conductor sizing.
