Hello folks,
I have a commercial toaster. Name plate rating:
208V Singlephase
27 Amps
Running amps 28.5 Amps
If i put a breaker rated at 30 Amps it will break because the toaster runs 11 hours a day. If I go 125% of the rating then the breaker goes to 35Amps. But the lead wires from the toaster are only 10AWG.
What i have on there now is SO cord with 30Amp twistlock receptacle and 30Amp twistlock plug.
What should i do to be within NEC?
Regards,
Edward
