3. Motor Calculations Article 430.62 requires that Feeder Overcurrent device be sized based on the largest overcurrent in the group (based of Feeder % multiplier). This is to be added to the Full-Load Currents of all other motor supplied by that feeder. This code section does not allow for the next available overcurrent device as permitted for individual overcurrent devices. Calculation as follows…

4. Feeder Calculations continued… Largest motor has FLC of 96A… 96A x 175% (Feeder Type) = 168A 168A is not a standard size code permits 175A overcurrent device. 175A + 21A + 34A + 40A + 65A = 335A Feeder must be sized to next lower O.C. Answer 300A

5. Feeder Conductor Calculation… Article 430.24 requires that all feeder conductors be sized at not less than the sum total of all motor FLC plus the largest motor FLC at 125%... (Largest Motor) 96A x 125% = 120A 120A + 21A + 34A + 40A + 65A = 280A Table 310.16 requires… 300kcmil cu.

6. Individual Brach Circuit Overcurrent Per Article 430.52 overcurrent is sized… (15HP) 21A x 300% = 63A…70A (25HP) 34A x 250% = 85A…90A (30HP) 40A x 175% = 70A…70A (50HP) 65A x 300% = 195A…200A (75HP) 96A x 250% = 240A…250A

7. Brach Circuit Conductors Article 430.22 requires that all conductors be sized at not less than 125% of the FLC of the Motor. Article 110.14 (c) (4) allows motors (types B, C and D) to use the 75 degree C ampacities of table 310.16 Calculations will be as follows…

8. Branch Circuit Conductors continued… 21A x 125% = 26.25A…#10 cu 34A x 125% = 42.5A…#8 cu 40A x 125% = 50A…#8 cu 65A x 125% = 81.25A…#4 cu 96A x 125% = 120A…#1 cu

9. Branch Circuit Disconnects Article 430.110 (A) requires that disconnects be sized at no less that 115% of the FLC of the Motor supplied… 21A x 115% = 24.15A…30A 34A x 115% = 39.1A…60A 40A x 115% = 46A…60A 65A x 115% = 74.75A…100A 96A x 115% = 110.4A…200A

10. Overload Protection Article 430.32 requires overload protection to be sized based on the FLA of the motor protected… 20A x 125% = 25A…25A 30A x 125% = 37.5A…37.5A 38A x 115% = 43.7A…43.7A 63A x 125% = 78.75A…78.75A 93A x 115% = 106.95A106.95A
