I am trying to determine the FLC of a brushless DC motor for OCPD and branch circuit wire sizes. The motor is from Oriental Motor and is part # BLM6400SHP-GFV which is a 400 watt, 1/2 HP bldc motor. The sticker on the back of the motor shows 2A. I know the NEC has tables (430.XX) to determine the recommended FLC instead of using the nameplates. What kind of motor is this considered, DC? Or do I just go off the sticker amperage, or something else?
We are using a non oriental motor driver that we set the max output current and I have that at 2A. This uses a 120VAC input but has a voltage doubler circuitry (200-240VAC) and converts it to 280-340 VDC bus voltage.
