EQuIPmENT GROuNDING COuNDuCTOR WIRE SIZE

The keystroke can be used to find the Grounding

conductor size for raceways and “over-current devices in circuit

ahead” equipment. The calculator assumes the displayed value as

Amperage to solve for the Equipment Grounding conductor based

on NEC Table 250.122.
Find the Equipment Grounding conductor size required when the

circuit breaker is rated at 45 Amps. What is the equivalent

Aluminum size?

FuSE aND CIRCuIT bREaKER SIZE

Fuse and Breaker sizing is determined by NEC Table 430.52.

Once the Motor Type is defined via L, a Full-Load

Current amperage value can be used to find the Fuse Breaker Sizes.
What is the calculated Dual Element and Single Element Fuse

size for a 230 Volt, 3-Phase, 50 HP Induction motor? What are

the Instantaneous Trip and Inverse Time Circuit
