All these code "refer back to this section" parts of 620 are confusing the heck out of me.

I have a 50 HP elevator and a 40 HP elevator on my roof (208V, 3 phase).

1) The elevator manufacturer is telling me I need a 350A and a 250A circuit breaker for these elevators. Does this sound right?

2) What size switch, fuse and feeder do I need going up to the elevator machine room?

I'm on 2005 NEC if it matters.
