I would really appreciate any help with this question and anything pointing to the NEC would be appreciated.
Scenario:
Let's say I have 6 motors and each use 10 amps.. So 60 Amps total fully loaded could possibly be used on my machine.
The machine is being fed from a 30A drop is ran over, so then I fuse my machine at 20A.. I would protect each motor individually at around 10A.
If my program prevents starting multiple motors at a time (Non-safety rated) and all protection is sized not to cause an issue, is this allowed? Obviously if someone went in and forced all of the outputs on, it would blow a breaker, but it that okay?
