Hubbell L15-20P is limited to 20 amps, and 3 hp. L15-30P is limited to 30 amps, and 3 hp (same hp as L15-20P). Therefore if I have a 5 hp, 230 volt, 16 amp motor, then I must use pin and sleeve connections only?
Hubbell (in their specification sheets) limits L15-30P to 3 hp. Cannot find Leviton, nor Pass and Seymor data sheets with any hp restrictions.
Can I disregard Hubbells hp restriction on hp, and ensure amps are below 30 on motor? Maybe the hp limit is related to motor startup surge?
Thanks in advance.
