I have a problem to size a disconnect, I need to find the max locked-rotor current for a code Design C type 3 phase squirrel cage induction motor rated 15 HP, 230 V.
The solution tells me to look it up in the tables for 430.251. I understand that answer, but if I choose to use an equation and NEC Table 430.7(B) for the Locked Rotor Indicating Code Letters,then I get a very different answer than what is in the NEC in the tables for 430.251.
Locked Rotor Current = Locked-rotor KVA / (1.73 * kV) ... The equation I am getting out of the NEC Handbook.
The answer is completely different than later on. What am I not understanding about these tables?
