If a 30 amperes snap switch is used as disconnecting means of a 3-horse power motor, what shall be the maximum full load current of the motor?
A
24 amperes
explanation
Refer: NEC 430.109(C) (2) If a snap switch is used to disconnect a motor must be derated to 80% So maximum full load current of motor = 30 x 0.8 = 24 amperes
