Control Panel FLC Require 125%

[Ravenvalor]

Hello,

I have a customer with a control panel that has a sticker on the front that says 85.1 FLC.

The components that it feeds have already had the 25% calculated for the conductors and the fuses that are being fed by the control panel.

I was wondering, do I have to add another 25% to the 85.1-amps when calculating the breaker size and the conductor size?

This would put the breaker size at 110amps. Or can I just use a 90-amp breaker with conductors rated 90-amp?


Thank you for your assistance.

Take a look at 409.20 and 409.21.

Take a look at 409.20 and 409.21.

I see that 409.20 and 409.21 gives a little room. I also see that I can just check the breaker size inside the machine and match my circuit breaker feeding the machine to it.

Thank you for the advice.
