why is it that a/c motor equipment can be fused at 225% when the conductors are computed at 125%? It seems that the conductors could burn up long before the overcurrrent kicks out.

The a/c equipment provides the overload protection, the branch circuit fuse or circuit breaker only provides short circuit and ground fault protection.
