It's not a biggy, but it bugging me.
I was wondering if I go with the 170% overcurrent protection as per article 430.
or what?
I have a .6 amp 240v swamp cooler pump, that i need to fuse.
it was blowing a 1 amp, so I was double checking.
I thought for a second on fractional horse it was higher like 270%, but maybe i was thinking of the 170.
.6X1.7= 1.02amp
so a 1 amp is close, i know you are supposed to go to next higher, which would be a 2, which we don't carry.
so 3 is next size up,
and thats what I put in it.
I was just curious though.
