I need clarification on some Motor Feeder circuits we recently installed in an Industrial environment. We have 60amp fuse protection on (10) motor feeds from a distribution block in the main panel. All the motors are 2HP or less, we ran 12AWG THHN to all, they each have line of sight to the panel, and their own disconnect and fusing at each motor. (3) are about 10', (3) are about 25', (3) are about 50', and one of them is about 100'. I was told to look up the following sections, but I am really rusty on the all the tap rules, and don't want to twist them to suit my needs.
240.21(c)(2) 240.21(c)(6) 240.21(b)(1)(4)
Do we need individual fusing on each motor after the distribution block in the main panel because 60amps is too much for all of them? Maybe for the 100' footer, but everyone reads the sections different for the rest of them, and now we are arguing about it hotly. Anyone?
