A new look at motor protection
Article Abstract:
Article 430 of the 1999 National Electrical Code (NEC) provides information on computing motor-circuit conductor, motor-branch circuits, short-circuit and ground-fault protection. Data from the NEC has been tabulated for individual single-phase and polyphase motors together with their applicable multipliers. Caution is advises against using the 'hard start' option without prior installation of a 'normal start' option since there is the possibility of damaging the motor windings.
