EXAMPLE

Section 725.23

"Overcurrent protection for conductors 14 AWG and larger shall be provided in accordance with the conductor ampacity, without applying the derating factors of 310.15 to the ampacity calculation. Overcurrent protection shall not exceed 7 amperes for 18 AWG conductors and 10 amperes for 16 AWG.
Exception:  Where other articles of this Code permit or require other overcurrent protection.
FPN: For example, see 430.72 for motors, 610.53 for cranes and hoists, and 517.74(B) and  660.9 for X-ray equipment."



For the above, 15 ampere fuses or a 15 ampere circuit breaker or smaller would be required at A  for No. 14 conductors at B.
