102 Section Ten 4, Feeder fuse (dual-element time-delay type) 175 percent of full-load current 5. Feeder fuse (NEC non-time-delay type) 300 percent of full-load current maximum. For Wound-Rotor Motors 1. Feeder wire size 125 percent of motor full-load current minimum. 2. Feeder breaker (thermal-magnetic fixed-trip type) 150 percent of full-load current 3. Feeder breaker (instantaneous magnetic-only type) 800 percent of full-load current maximum. 4, Feeder fuse (dual-element time-delay type) 150 percent of full-load current 5. Feeder fuse (NEC non-time-delay type) 150 percent of full-load current maximum. For Hermetic Motors (Special Case). Hermetic motors are actually a combination consisting of a compressor and motor, both of which are enclosed in the same hous- ing, with no external shaft or shaft seals, the motor operating in the refrigerant; thus their characteristics are different from those of standard induction motors. Calculating their feeder size and overcurrent protection is based on their nameplate branch-circuit selection current (BCSC) or their rated-load current (RLC), whichever is greater. The BCSC is always equal to or greater than the RLC. Hence, the following: 1. Feeder wire size 125 percent of BCSC/RLC maximum. 2. Feeder breaker (thermal-magnetic fixed-trip type) 175 to 225 percent of BCSC/RLC maximum. 3, Feeder breaker (instantaneous magnetic-only type) 800 percent of BCSC/RLC 4, Feeder fuse (dual-element time-delay type) 175 to 225 percent of BCSC/RLC maxi- 5. Feeder fuse (NEC non-time-delay type) not recommended—Do not use. DC (Constant-Voltage) Motors 1. Feeder wire size 125 percent of motor full-load current maximum. 2. Feeder breaker (thermal-magnetic fixed-trip type) 150 percent of full-load current 3. Feeder breaker (instantaneous magnetic-only type) 250 percent of full-load eur- rent maximum, 4, Feeder fuse (dual-element time-delay type) 150 percent of full-load current 5. Feeder fuse (NEC non-time-delay type) 150 percent of full-load current maximum. For Multiple Motors on One Feeder. First, size feeder and overcurrent protection for largest motor and add the full-load current of the remaining motors to size the overall feeder and overcurrent protection. Application Tips 1. Refer to NEC Articles 430 and 440 for further details on sizing motor feeders and overcurrent protection.
