A. STEPS IN DESIGN OF ELECTRIC MOTOR CIRCUIT FROM PEC 4.30
1. Select branch circuit
conductors rated atleast
125% of motor full load
current.
2. Select branch-circuit
protective device to
protect against short
circuits and grounds in
motor circuit.
3. Select controller suited
to the load and to the
supply system.
4. Select running overload
protection to open the
circuit on overload up to
and including stalled
rotor current.
5. Select disconnecting
means to disconnect
both motor and
controller from all
ungrounded supply
conductors.

Use 100 AT , 3P, Inverse Time Circuit Breaker (MCCB) - (From Article 2.40.1.6
page 169 Standard Ampere ratings for Fuses and Circuit Breakers)
TABLE 4.30 .4.2 MAXIMUM RATING OR SETTING OF MOTOR BRANCH SHORT
CIRCUIT AND GROUND FAULT PROTECTIVE DEVICES
3. Sizing of Motor Controller (Magnetic Starters)
From Article PEC 4.30.7.3, page 711 - The Controller shall have a rating specified in; a)
Horsepower ratings, Controllers, other than inverse time circuit breaker and molded case
switches , shall have horsepower ratings at the application voltage not lower than the
horsepower rating of the motor.
From the above data and for 25 HP,460 V Motor with 34 A Full Load Current, Use
NEMA Size 3 Controller.
4. Setting of Overload Relay (PEC Page 690 and 693)
Motors with a marked S.F. not less than 1.15 ------------- 125% (140%)
Motors with marked temp. rise not over 400C ------------ 125% (140%)
All other motors --------------------------------------------- 115% (130%)
Calculation :
Given Data :
OL Setting = 44.2 A
Choose an overload relay with a setting range from 40 to 100 Amps and Set at 50 A,
Class 20 Overload Relay.
4.2 Overload Relays Trip Class
A. NEMA Class 10 - operates in less than 10 seconds at 600 percent of the full load
amperes of the motor during starting.
B. NEMA Class 20 - operates in less than 20 seconds at 600 percent of the full load
amperes of the motor during starting.
C. NEMA Class 30 - for high inertia industrial load applications, operates in less than
30 seconds.
5. Determining Minimum Size of Disconnecting Means
Disconnect
Motors and controllers must be provided with a means of safely disconnecting
them from their source of supply such that the maintenance of the controller, the
motor, and its driven equipment can be accomplished without any hazard to
personnel. The disconnect must open all ungrounded supply conductors, and also
be gang-operated so that the operating mechanism opens all poles simultaneously.
The disconnecting means must be located in sight from the motor location.
From Article PEC 4.30.9.10, page 721 - The disconnecting means for motor
circuits rated 600 V, nominal, or less shall have an ampere rating not less than 115
percent of the full-load current rating of the motor.

Calculations :
From Article 2.15.1.2 Minimum Rating and Size for A) Feeders not more than 600 Volts. Feeder
Conductors shall have an ampacity not less than required to supply the load. The minimum feeder
circuit conductor size , before the application of any adjustment factor or correction factors , shall
have an amapcity not less than the non-contiunous load plus 125 percent of the continuous load.

• The idea is that the fire pump motor must run, no matter what; it supplies water
to facility’s fire protection piping, which in turn supplies water to the sprinkler
system and fire hoses.
• Art. 6.95 contains many requirements to keep that supply of water uninterrupted.
• Ensuring that the fire pump and its jockey pump have a reliable source of power.
It makes sense to keep fire pump wiring independent.
C.1 SAMPLE CALCULATION FOR DESIGN OF FIRE PUMP CIRCUIT (PEC
ART. 6.95)

1.6.d (page 165 &1336
respectively) a) Power Loss
Hazard – Conductor overload
protection shall not be
required where the
interruption of the circuit
would create hazard , such as
in a material – handling
magnet circuit or fire pump
circuit . Short circuit
protection shall be provided.
2. It is important to consider the
lock rotor current (6 x Full
Load Current) during starting
of the fire pump motor.

Since the feeder conductors for fire pump circuit does not have an overload protection, It is
important for fire pump circuit to have an insulation coordination study to ensure that cables can
withstand the available fault current .
