Fire Pump Circuit Sizing is Mind-Blowing! Short-Circuit/Ground-Fault Protection Size - Protection must have an ampere rating not less than the nameplate locked-rotor current of the fire pump motor (between 6 to 8 times motor FLC) [NEC695.4(B)(2)(1)]. Conductor Sizing - Conductors must have an ampacity of not less than 125 percent of the motor full-load current rating in accordance with 430.22 [NEC 695.6(B)(2)]. In this example, a 34A FLA/183A LRC fire pump motor requires 200A protection [240.6(A
