(Amps) based on entries for Motor Horsepower (HPmotor), Phase

and Voltage. You can also nd an equivalent Motor Horsepower if you

have entered Voltage and Full-Load Current values. Only HP Motor

and Voltage entries as dened by NEC Tables 430.247, 430.248 and

430.250 can be used to determine motor loads.

Size (from NEMA publication ICS 2-1988 Tables

2-327-1 and 2-327-2) based on the Phase,

Voltage, and Motor Horsepower settings.

Note: Horsepower values not identied in NEMA

tables will cause the calculator to round up to the

next larger Starter Size in the table.

Wire Sizing Keys

The ElectriCalc Pro uses NEC Table 310.15(B)(16) (310.15(B)(17)

for Free Air) to nd Wire Sizes and Ampacity ratings of wires. The

calculator uses the following data to calculate Wire Size:

1) Insulation temperature rating (60°C, 75°C and 90°C)

2) Wire material (Copper or Aluminum)

3) Ambient Temperature

Standard AWG Wire Sizes and Circular Mils are used by the

ElectriCalc Pro. Wire Size entries less than or equal to 2,000 are

accepted as AWG Wire Sizes; entries greater than 2,000 are

accepted as Circular Mil entries and display the corresponding AWG

Wire Size. Entries must match the standard Wire Sizes or Circular

Mils; otherwise, nonE will be displayed (invalid entry).

Note: 1/0, 2/0, 3/0 and 4/0 wires are entered using the key

(e.g., 0, 00, 000 and 0000).



Wire Size/Ampacity — Enters or calculates Wire

Size based on Ampacity and Voltage Drop, if a

Voltage Drop Length has been entered.

♦ First Press

If a Wire Length has been entered, the rst

press will show the larger of the Ampacity or

Voltage Drop derived Wire Size. The calculator

will use the larger value when calculations

require a Wire Size. If no Voltage Drop Length

has been entered, the calculator will display the

calculated Ampacity-rated Wire Size.

♦ Second Press

If a Wire Length has been entered, the second

press displays the smaller of the two Wire

Sizes. If not solving for Voltage Drop Wire Size,

then displays the maximum Ampacity.

♦ Third Press

Displays the Wire Size in Circular Mils.
