Table 430.248 said 3/4 hp 115 V will take 13.8 Amps.
When you do calculation 3/4 HP is 560 Watts.
560 Watts : by 115 V = 4.8 Amps.
Please explain how this work ?
Thanks

I have a 208/480 75kva step up transformer the machine calls for a 50amp 3phase 480vc and a 20amp Vc 480vc . My question is what size should my breaker be on the primary side of the transformer thanks Arthur December 31 2015, 5:19 pm EST

I think the 5b should go on the second page with the 3 phase motors.

You are correct, the new table will be uploaded early next week. Sorry, and happy New Year.

240.6 tells that "Additional standard ampere ratings for fuses shall be 1, 3, 6, 10 and 601. Note that for small motors, for example 1/2HP, 460V, 3-ph, FLC = 1.1A. I think that for those cases, the correct OCP shall consider the use of the small-ampere rating fuses mentioned in 240.6 Jacob Mendelovici December 30 2015, 9:34 pm EST
