Hello,

I need clarification on breaker sizing for small motors less than 1/6 HP. My understanding is circuit breaker in panelboard can act as disconnecting means. The mechanical unit states 5A MOP breaker. Trying to figure out per code sections what is the max. size breaker allowed for this installation.
Thank you.
