Listed Motor Circuit Switch

There is a new exception permitting a listed non fused motor circuit switch having a horsepower rating equal to or greater than the motor horsepower to have an ampere rating less than 115 percent of the full load current rating of the motor.

Listed motor circuit switch.

Molded case switches as listed to ul 489. Multipole switches are permitted for use only on. Manual no operation nop auto have fun. The substantiation for this new exception demonstrated that it is common for non fused switches with.
