Hello,
I have a question regarding the correct wire size and overcurrent protection to use for a Marathon 7230HD Baler.
The baler hasn't arrived yet so I cannot verify the data plate. However I was able to find the product specs from their website.
The available power is 208v 3ph.
The Marathon 7230 has a 10hp motor.
I was able to find this information from Marathons website. http://www.marathonequipment.com/faq/what-fuses-and-circuit-breakers-do-i-need-my-compactor
For a 10HP motor using 208 3ph:
Full Load Amps = 27.5.
Dual Element Fuse Max Size = 50
Circuit Breaker Max Size = 80
Service Disconnect AMP = 60
With that information, what size should my breaker, fused disconnect and and wire be?
Can I get by with a 60A breaker, 60A disconnect and 6 AWG THHN? What size fuses?
The baler will be located a few feet from the panel.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Solie
