[Link] Standard Ampere Ratings.
(a) Fuses and Fixed-Trip Circuit Breakers. The standard ampere
ratings for fuses and inverse time circuit breakers shall be considered

1600, 2000, 2500, 3000, 4000, 5000, and 6000 amperes. Additional
standard ampere ratings for fuses shall be 1, 3, 6, 10, and 601. The use
of fuses and inverse time circuit breakers with nonstandard ampere
ratings shall be permitted

3synchronous motors of the low-torque, low-speed type (usually 450 rpm or lower).
such as are used to drive reciprocating compressors, pumps, and so forth, that start
unloaded, do not require a fuse rating or circuit-breaker setting in excess of 200
percent of full-load current.‘Table [Link] Allowable Ampacities of Insulated Conductors Rated 0 Through 2000 Volts, 60°C Through
