Actual motor current may be higher or lower than typical values shown below. IN ALL CASES, the current shown on

the motor nameplate is the correct value for that particular motor and takes precedence over any value shown in this

table. For reliable motor protection use the actual motor current (FLA – Full Load Amps) listed on the motor nameplate.

The values shown below are typical for motors running at standard speeds with normal torque characteristics. Motors

built for high efficiency, low speeds, high torques, multi-speeds or other special applications may have different Full

Load Amps than what is shown in the table. In these cases, the motor nameplate FLA rating must be used.
