2-Speed chillers, they have 6-conductors from the mcc to the motor is it true that the conductors can be sized at 75% of the full load? I herd this from someone in the office, is it true? If so where does it state this?:confused:

The conductors need to be sized per the information on the motor nameplate. See 430.22(B). Maybe they were thinking of the wye start delta run where each of the 6 motor conductors are sized at 58% of the motor full load current. 430.22(C).
