Minimum Current Ampacity (MCA)

Calculation

1.25 x FLA of larger hp motor or compressor = _____

1.25 x heater FLA

= + _____

Sum of all other motors FLA

= + _____

Wheel drive motor and standard controls FLA = + _____

Calculated total MCA

= _____

Maximum Overcurrent Protection (MOP)

Calculation

2.25 x FLA of larger hp motor or compressor = _____

Electric heater FLA

= + _____

Sum of all other motors FLA

= + _____

Wheel drive motor and standard controls FLA = + _____

Calculated total MCA

= _____

Actual MOP (from Table E5)

= _____

Finding the Actual MOP Value

From the calculated MOP value, select the next smallest

value of protection from the Standard Overcurrent Protec-

tion chart below to get the actual MOP value (maximum

value of overcurrent device).

IMPORTANT

If this method leads to an actual MOP value being smaller

than the calculated total MCA, then a larger value must

rather be selected, such that the actual MOP is at least

equal to the calculated total MCA.
