The applicable NEC table gives a motor full-load current of 28 amperes. What minimum branch-circuit conductor ampacity results from the general 125-percent rule?
- A22.4 amperes
- B28 amperes
- C56 amperes
- 35 amperes
Why D is correct
Motor branch-circuit conductors are generally sized at not less than 125 percent of the applicable table full-load current. Twenty-eight amperes times 1.25 equals 35 amperes.
