old class B is new class 150 or 130
old class F is new class 180

old class A is new class 105
old class B is new class 130
old class F is new class 155

In addition, I'm referencing this ATP book that refers to "class 150" repeatedly. And Im seeing "class 155" spoken about in the NEC 450.21(B)X1+X2. Does this NEC reference prove that all references to class 150 are wrong.? Why would somebody makeup a class 150.?

I wish I could access the NEMA website. They apparently want money just to see the simplest thing. I dont see how I can access the answer to even a basic question without paying them for a subscription.

Schneider / Square D is a pretty reliable source but so is NFPA. Since NEC 450.21(B)X1+X2 states that there is a class 155, are both sources right.? Is there both a class 150 and a class 155.?

I don't believe there is a "standard" 155. I believe the 155 value was chosen so it would be higher than 150, but much closer to 150 than 180 just in case some manufacturer published a non-standard in-between rating.
