Now my head hurts........

Mine too.

As intended.

Just another illustration that the workings of the NEC are convoluted, and any simplified rewording is likely to be wrong.

than the ungrounded conductors supplying the equipment.

The posted quote (which matches 2011) shows "circuit conductors" not "ungrounded conductors".

I agree with David. How is it a 250.122 violation?

I'm late getting to the party but I agree too. I think there should be bold text in a few parts of the NEC that says "Motors Are Different".

 

[shortcircuit2]

Well, since the sentence specifically mentions the table and then overrides the result of using the table, it seems pretty clear that is what is intended.
The fact that the table provides different answers for different situations does not affect the fact that the whole table process is being overridden IF the result from the table is larger than the rest of the circuit conductors.
Note that if the circuit conductors include a reduced size neutral, this does not allow you to just use the size of the neutral! The limit would be the largest of the circuit conductors.

Ok...I get it. I understand now. Thanks.
