Best Answer

A three phase 30 HP at 240 volts draws 80 amps. Motor feeders have to be rated at 125% of the motors full load amps. 80 x 125% = 100 amps.

A #

3 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C are rated at 100 and 105 amps respectively.

Non-time delay fusing is 225 amps, time delay fusing is 125 amps and a circuit breaker is sized by 250% x 80, the full load amps, which equals 200 amps.

What size breaker for a 208 volt single phase motor that pulls 1.4 amps?

208 volts is not a common single phase voltage but you could just size your breaker to the capabilities of the conductor. 208 is normally a phase to phase voltage <<>> Many 230 volt motors can be connected to lower voltage supplies. These motors can be connected to supplies of 208 and 200 volts. The code requirement is that the 230 volt full load amperage of the motor be increased by 10% and 15% respectively for wire sizing and breaker selection. To answer the question you will need a two pole 15 amp breaker.
