I will be changing out a motor for an elevator and want to prewire the flex to controller to make it quicker and easier. 77 FLA and according to 430.22(C) I can use 58% of that from controller to motor. No problem. 430.22(E) says 85% for intermitent duty of which I have. Here is the question... How are these reductions applied? Do I take 85% of 77 and then apply the 58% to that result? I come up with 37.9 amps to choose wire guage with. Is this right?
