What is included in the NEC motor tables, and how is this information used?

What will be an ideal response?


The tables list the amount of current the motor is expected to require under full-load conditions. A motor will have a lower current requirement if it is not under a full load. These tables list the ampere rating of the motors according to horsepower and connected voltage. It should be noted that the currents listed in these tables are to be used in determining conductor size, fuse size, and ground-fault protection instead of the motor's nameplate rating. The motor overload size, however, is to be determined by using the current listed on the nameplate of the motor.
