When is the branch-circuit selection current marked?

Correct Answer

verifed

verified

Some hermetic refrigerant motor compressors are designed to operate continuously at currents greater than 156 percent of the RLA.In such cases, the unit's nameplate is marked with "Branch­ Circuit Selection Current" or "Minimum Supply Circuit Conductor Ampacity." The MBCSC will be no less than at least 64.1 percent of the MCC rating of the hermetic refrigerant motor-compressor.Note: 156 percent and 64.1 percent have an inverse relationship.

The evaporator in a commercial installation normally consists of a coil, through which the building air is circulated by a motor-driven fan.


A) plate tube
B) helical tube
