Correct answer to question 8012
- B: 175 percent of full-load current
Explanation
Table 430.52 allows dual-element (time-delay) fuses up to 175 percent of the table full-load current for common ac motors. Their time delay carries starting current, so a lower percentage is needed than for nontime delay fuses.
