240.4 clearly indicates that conductors need to be protected against overcurrent in accordance with their ampacities ....
It specifically refers to 310.15 which is 0-2000V.
Where is the requirement for overcurrent and/or short circuit protection for conductors >2000?
240.4 doesn't specifically exclude conductors >2000V, but the reference to 310.15 leaves me with nothing to go by.
I have a 15kV feeder that I will protect with 50/51 protection (overcurrent and short circuit protection), but I'm trying to figure out for this vveerryy long radial campus feeder whether there is any way I can reduce the ampacity of the feeder as I go along from building to building and the calculated load is less and less.
Thanks
