Motors and the Sizing Wires

Is it as easy as looking for the FLC in 430.147 to 150 then selecting the conductor in 310.16? Thanks

See Article 430. Yep, it's almost that easy.

If we're talking a single motor, multiply FLC by 125%, for typical motor applications. There are variations depending on motor data, usage, and associated equipment.

...don't forget voltage drop.
