a 8 XHHW requires 3/4 in. conduit
for 3W.
b 200 V motors are commonly
used on 208 V services.
c Ordinary service for normal
starting duty only, acceleration time
of 10 sec. or less.
d Heavy service is jogging or
plugging duty or cycling load with
over 25 starts per hour or over 5
starts per minute. Energy efficient
motors are polyphase motors
defined in NEMA Standard MG1 and
exhibit high starting current.
e NEC 430.22 for Single Motor,
Smaller conductors may be
permitted for light duty-cycle service
per 430.22 (B) Exception No. 1. DC
motors operating from rectified 1Ø
power supply will require larger
conductors per 430.22 (A) Exception
No. 1. For motor-generator arc
welders, see 630.11.
f Motor full load currents thru 200 hp
are taken from NEC Tables 430.147,
148 and 150. Above 200 hp from UL
98. Select wire size, circuit breakers,
or fuses on basis of hp rather than
nameplate full load current per NEC
430.6. Do not use these values to
select overload relay thermal
units. Voltages listed are rated
motor voltages. Corresponding
nominal system voltages are 110–
120 V, 200–208 V, 220–240 V,
440–480 V and 550–600 V.
g Switch size only is shown in table.
Selected fuses should not exceed
maximum percent of full-load current
as given in NEC Table 430.52.
Above 50 hp dc switches are not hp
rated by UL as Motor Circuit
Switches, but as General Use
Switches only and are not
necessarily capable of interrupting
the max. operating overload current
of a motor. See NEC 100 for
definition of General Use Switch.
When protecting a 3Ø, Design E
energy efficient motor, the switch is
required by NEC 430.109 to have a
hp rating of not less than 1.4 times
that of a motor rated 3–100 hp, or not
less than 1.3 times that of a motor
rated over 100 hp. Switches shown
in this table do not necessarily
comply with that requirement.
h Thermal-magnetic circuit breaker
ampere ratings recommended are
approximate for average conditions,
based on trip characteristics of
Square D circuit breakers and NEC
Table 430.52. Under some
conditions, the next size larger switch
or circuit breaker rating may be
necessary to accommodate the
motor starting current and is
permitted by NEC 430.52(C)(1)
Exception 2. High starting currents
are anticipated with Design E and
other energy efficient motors. For
explanation of Code letter markings,
see NEC 430.7(B). For Busway
Plug-in units, see Section DE8.
i Thermal-magnetic breaker
ampere ratings recommended are
approximate for average conditions
and based on trip characteristics of
Square D circuit breakers and NEC
Tables 430.7(B) and 430.52.
jType LC, LI, LX, LXI, and LE
circuit breakers are NOT
recommended for use on single
motor branch circuits.
