I have a situation where because of the distance from the battery to the motor the starting current is an issue.
I have two motors
2HP, FLA=14, 125V DC
7.5HP, FLA=53.3, 125V DC
First off, is there a code requirement that limits the starting current say between 300% to 500% of FLA? Also, is there a time requirement? I am speaking of emergency/backup motors?
