Notes:
RLA - Rated load amps
Compressor LRA - Locked rotor amps
Fan Motor LRA - Locked rotor amps, N.E.C. Table 430 -
151
FLA - Full load amps, N.E.C. Table 430 - 150
Compressor KW - Based on 80/70 degrees F to evaporator
coil, nominal airflow, and 105 degrees F condensing temperature, 3 phase, 60 Hertz
Fan Motor KW - Based on rated motor horsepower, 3
phase, 60 Hertz Voltage utilization range is + 10 percent
Determination of minimum circuit ampacity (MCA).
MCA 1.25 x largest motor amps (FLA or RLA) + the sum of
the remaining motor amps.
Determination of maximum fuse size (MFS) and maximum
circuit breaker size (MCB). When compressor is largest load:
MFS and MCB = 2.25 x largest compressor RLA + the sum
of the remaining compressor RLA!s + supply fan (FLA).
When supply fan is largest load:
MFS and MCB = 4.0 x supply fan FLA + the sum of the
remaining compressor RLA's.
