Can someone explain to me how you could come up with this FLA MCA ?
Heat pump sits in the attic with cooled water circulated to it as the cooling/heating medium:
Fan 1/8 HP
Condenser 3/4HP
Aux heat 1.6 KW
208V/1Ø
FLA 8.5A
MCA 6.3A
MOCP 15A
Also, why would FLA be larger than MCA regardless? This must be a terminology issue. Would this happen when a motor is more efficient than the appropriate 430 table, so MCA is calculated and FLA is actual?
