Question for all you Load Calculation Masters.
On the topic of motors:
430.24 Says:
"Conductors supplying several motors, or a motor(s) and other load(s), shall have the ampacity not less than the sum of each of the following:
(1) 125% of the FLC rating of the highest rated motor, as determined by 430.6(A)
(2) Sum of the FLC rating of all other motors in the group, as determined by 430.6(A)
(3) 100% of the noncontinuous nonmotor load
(4) 125%% of the continuous nonmotor load"
Now when sizing the Service conductors for let's say:
(1) 480v, 2hp, 3ø-2,827VA
(1) 480v, 5hp, 3ø-6,319VA
(1) 480v, 10hp, 3ø-11,639VA
I would do 125% of 11,639VA=14,549VA
14,549VA+6,319+2,827VA=23,695VA
Now would this calculation change if one of those motors was rated for continuous use?
