My boss is having me put up a 60 amp disconnect on 61 amp motor because he said the hp rating is okay. The motor is 40 hp and the disconnect is rated for 50 hp. I was trained to only use 80% of the amp rating so on a 60 amp disconnect 80% is 48 amps. Can't find in the nec 80% rule for disconnects. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
