What is the minimum conductor size, overload protection, and inverse-time circuitbreaker rating for a circuit supplying a 230-volt, 3-phase, code A, 40°C, 75-horsepower synchronous motor operating at an 80% power factor with a nameplate full-load current of 185 amperes?
All answers should be written in complete sentences. Calculations should be shown in detail, and Codereferences should be cited when appropriate. Unless otherwise stated, all conductors are copper type THHN, and the supply is AC.
