Hi guys,
I've been a long time lurker on the forums, but finally decided to signup today.
I am wiring my own small woodworking shop at the moment and just want to confirm that I am interpreting the code correctly.
I have a 240Volt 7.5HP planer that I am hooking up, its FLA is 32 Amps. It has a Mag switch and thermal protection (not sure on overload).
According to Table D16 (I am using the PS Knight Book 2 as I just moved to BC and don't have the code books yet) this motor would require cable rated at 40 amps (#8 NMD90) and a circuit breaker rated at 80 amps.
No disconnect is required as the machine is in clear sight of the panel which is 25 feet away.
The machine is portable and will be moved around, so it will be hooked up with a short section of SJOW and a twist-lock w/ strain relievers.
I hope this is correct as I have already bought the materials, but I thought I should confirm before doing the install.
Thank you in advance for all your input,
-Kai Thompson
