Commercial dishwasher in church

[mike9593]

HI,
I have a commercial dishwasher to install in a church. Motor amp = 2.69, Heat 39.42 amps - total FLA = 42.11
Applying the 120 % rule 42.11 X 1.2 = 50.5

I see from 220.56 the demand is 100% - So technically I would need a 60 amp breaker, right? with #6 MC cable.

Also, there is not a neutral connection - only 2 lugs for power and a ground. There isn't anything in the code requiring me to run 6/3. Correct?

What 120% rule are you talking about? I agree that you don't need to bring a neutral wire to the equipment.

I think he means the rule where wires have to be sized to 125% of the load.
Thanks
Mike
