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.
