What's your question.
240.4 allows an 800 amp breaker on conductors rated 760 amps as long as the load doesn't exceed 760.

They're not using the90° C column, they're using the 75° C column and the next size up rule in 240.4(B) as Augie mentioned.

Would you please give more info when you ask a question. @ sets of what???? at least give the wire size and say whether copper or al. For the number of questions you ask it's the least you could do.
 
Motor breakers are sized 250% of FLA.

Transformers are “oversized”.

The overcurrent protection is based on the load and so is the wiring. The two are not necessarily related. For instance there is the next size up rule and tap rules.
