Where to Find Current Values

430.6 Ampacity and Motor Rating Determination.
(A) General Motor Applications.
(1) Table Values. Other than for motors built
for low speeds (less than 1200 RPM) or high
torques, and for multispeed motors, the values
given in Table 430.247, Table 430.248, Table
430.249, and Table 430.250 shall be used to
determine the ampacity of conductors or ampere
ratings of switches, branch-circuit short-circuit
and ground-fault protection, instead of the
actual current rating marked on the motor
nameplate. Where a motor is marked in amperes,
but not horsepower, the horsepower rating shall
be assumed to be that corresponding to the value
given in Table 430.247, Table 430.248, Table
430.249, and Table 430.250, interpolated if
necessary. Motors built for low speeds (less than
1200 RPM) or high torques may have higher
full-load currents, and multispeed motors will
have full-load current varying with speed, in
which case the nameplate current ratings shall be
used.
