Can anybody tell me the difference between the FLA vs FLC.
That's like AC current and DC current, PIN numbers and VIN numbers, and LCD displays.But saying "My motor has an FLA of 29A" is being redundant because "amps" is already implied by the acronym "FLA".
Tautological perhaps?That's like AC current and DC current, PIN numbers and VIN numbers, and LCD displays.
Needless tautological redundancy. :grin:Tautological perhaps?

'We were contracted to install the Energy Management System System'

raider1 FLA= Full Load Amps
FLC= Full Load Current
They basically mean the same thing.

Jraef Semantics, i.e. how they are used in a sentence. Example:
My motor has an FLC of 28A.
But saying "My motor has an FLA of 29A" is being redundant because "amps" is already implied by the acronym "FLA". If I say "The FLA of my motor is 28" I am being technically correct, but it sounds odd.

Tautological... my new Word of the Day!Needless tautological redundancy. :grin:
FLA and FLC mean the same thing for the most part. but in the real world the FLA of the motor is always less than the FLC in the tables.

Thanks for that, I will now bore my friends and co-workers with it all day today. I have often joked that I work for the DRD, the Department of Redundancy Dept. Now I can say I am a member of ATRA, the Associated Tautologic Redundants Assoc.
FLC is used when you size breaker size and wire size for motors.
FLA (located on the motor) is used to size overload protection for motors
the tables in 430 part XIV are FLC and what you need to size circuit ampacity
read 430.51 and 430.31
