If I have several motors that are fed from a panel, how do I size the breaker that feeds the panel? How does locked rotor current come into the equation?
Thanks for any help

I think that it is 125% of the largest motor FLC plus the sum of the FLC of the other motors

Tony, Feeder, YES; breaker, No
Feeder OCP, 430.62: Largest OCP for individuial motor + sum of full load currents for other motors.
