Wondering what conductor size would be required to supply an elevator motor. It is about a 100 ft run.

copper or aluminum?

 

[Richiejbod]

We will most likely pull copper.

NEC 430 is what you want

What H P is the motor ?

The info on the motor legend plate would be useful !

Just asking ..... are you an electrician ?

 

[Richiejbod]

Thanks I will have to take a look at that.

Yeah I am an electrical contractor, but the motor is not there it is a new installation and the elevator company wants a 200A disconnect with 110A dual element fuses.

#2 rated 115 amps at 75c

See if you can save some $$ on the conductors - 430.22(E) '11 NEC:thumbsup:

I just hooked up 2. They were traction elevators with 7 stops. The motor controller was feed with 100 amps but the controllers nameplate stated max load at 72 amps.

We run feeders to the elevator room based on the drawings then Otis or Marshall takes it from there.
