1/2 HP single phase 240 volt(4.9A)TBL 430.248.
430.52(B) Capable of carrying start current. How do I determine start current?
A little confused about TBL 430.52 800% for maximum short circuit. I am using a standard cutler hammer breaker.
4.9*800%=49 Amps maximum short circuit? If for some reason I wanted to put 1/2 HP on a 50 amp breaker? Conductors would have to be sized according to 310.16
Confused what septic motor rating would be (430.22 5 min, 15 min?) and what classification would be (short time, intermittent?), septic motors pump some ridiculous Gal. per Min. and guessing it pumps for 30 seconds.
Appreciate help.
Thanks,
