FLA = Full Load Amps of Isolation Transformer.
OPD = Suggested Overcurrent Protection Device for Isolation Transformer by others in
accordance with NEC 450-3(b).
Wire Sizes based on NEC Table 310-16, using 75C copper conductor.
*Parallel feeders per NEC 300-20 and 310-4.
NOTES:
1. Input power feeder should be a dedicated feeder direct from service entrance if possible. Ground conductors recommended to be
parity sized with power conductors for increased system performance. Ground conductor minimum size per NEC Table 250-95.
Input power feeder conduit may be used as the safety ground conductor. When conduit is used, adequate electrical continuity must
be maintained at conduit connections to enclosures and throughout conduit run.
2. Input feeder wire size listed in Table 2 is the minimum feeder size recommended. Larger wire size may be required because of
voltage drop or supply overcurrent protection device.
3. Output feeder wire size listed in Table 2 is the minimum feeder size recommended. Larger wire size may be required because of
overcurrent protection device, voltage drop, or excessive neutral current (see NEC Table 310-16 notes 8 and 10). For best
performance, transformer should be located as close to the load as practical.

FLA = Full Load Amps of Isolation Transformer.
OPD = Suggested Overcurrent Protection Device for Isolation Transformer by others in
accordance with NEC 450-3(b).
Wire Sizes based on NEC Table 310-16, using 75C copper conductor.
*Parallel feeders per NEC 300-20 and 310-4.
NOTES:
1. Input power feeder should be a dedicated feeder direct from service entrance if possible. Ground conductors recommended to be
parity sized with power conductors for increased system performance. Ground conductor minimum size per NEC Table 250-95.
Input power feeder conduit may be used as the safety ground conductor. When conduit is used, adequate electrical continuity must
be maintained at conduit connections to enclosures and throughout conduit run.
2. Input feeder wire size listed in Table 2 is the minimum feeder size recommended. Larger wire size may be required because of
voltage drop or supply overcurrent protection device.
3. Output feeder wire size listed in Table 2 is the minimum feeder size recommended. Larger wire size may be required because of
overcurrent protection device, voltage drop, or excessive neutral current (see NEC Table 310-16 notes 8 and 10). For best
performance, transformer should be located as close to the load as practical.
