Apologies,
This is in Florida, USA. 2014 NEC. Per the NEC I am aware that you rate the OCPD and conductors based on the duty rating (intermittent), and the conductor on the OCPD.
In this case the elevator shaft houses the motor / disconnects as this is a non-machine room traction elevator...
Do the conductors get clamped onto the panel bus or is there a second OCPD at the panel? If so, how does this breaker get sized with respect to the fuse size?
In this case I am given a 35A fuse size for a 208v 3P traction elevator motor.
Thanks in advance for your time.
