Notes:
#1. Motor Data based on 60Hz, NEMA Design B, C, or D, Standard Squirrel Cage Motors.
#2. Values for FLA are based on NEC Table 430-150. In actual application, please use nameplate FLA.
#3. Wire Size based on 75C wire types THW, THWN. in conduit allowing for 125% of FLA as required by NEC. Please refer to NEC for other applications
#4. Fuse size is based on NEC requirement of < 175% of FLA.
#5. Breaker size is based on NEC requirement of < 250% of FLA.
#6. Conduit size is based on maximum allowable fill amounts per NEC.
#7. Values based on NEC. It is user's sole responsibility to ensure actual motor circuit design conforms to all applicable national and local codes. These values are for educational purposes only. Due to the wide range of motor circuit applications, the author assumes no responsibility for the application of these values.
