A motor branch conductor calculation produces 52.5 amperes using the general 125-percent rule. What table full-load current was used?

Texas Journeyman exam practice question · Motors & Generators

A motor branch conductor calculation produces 52.5 amperes using the general 125-percent rule. What table full-load current was used?

A40 amperes
B52.5 amperes
42 amperes
D65.6 amperes

Why C is correct

Reverse the conductor factor: 52.5 ÷ 1.25 = 42 amperes of table full-load current. Keep units consistent and use only the factors stated; no optional method or unstated demand factor is assumed.
