Should you use the nameplate or size it according to generator OCP ?
Looking at 445.13 exception I believe it is saying nameplate... right
445.13 Ampacity of Conductors. The ampacity of the conductors from the generator terminals to the first distri- bution device(s) containing overcurrent protection shall not be less than 115 percent of the nameplate current rating of the generator. It shall be permitted to size the neutral con- ductors in accordance with 220.61. Conductors that must carry ground-fault currents shall not be smaller than re- quired by 250.30(A). Neutral conductors of dc generators that must carry ground-fault currents shall not be smaller than the minimum required size of the largest conductor.
Exception: Where the design and operation of the genera- tor prevent overloading, the ampacity of the conductors shall not be less than 100 percent of the nameplate current rating of the generator.
