Hi,
I don't wire a lot of motors and haven't come across this situation before. I have a customer who wants a machine hooked up that has a 7 1/2 hp motor on it. They want to be able to move the machine at times and are wanting it installed with a cord and plug.
My question is, if I have a disconnect installed before the receptacle, do I need a horsepower rated plug and receptacle, or can I use a standard plug and receptacle? The only thing I've seen relating to this is 430.109 (F), which says that if the cord and plug is used as a disconnect, then it needs to be horsepower rated.
Thanks for the input.
