Modify Motor OCP Trip calculations
I'm proposing modifications, or new options, to the OCP Trip calculation methods for motors.
Currently, if you have one of the options using FLA and/or MOCP, if those values are blank and all you have is a load, you won't get an accurately sized breaker.
I'm looking for a single universal calculation method, that can be used whether you have an FLA/MOCP or not.My thought on how that can work: if FLA is blank, use the Load to calculate an FLA and size the breaker based on that load per the selected calculation method.
Some background on why this…

Add "OCP" parameter
In Instance Edit we have an MOCP parameter but no OCP parameter. More often than not in my experience, manufacturers list an OCP not an MOCP. The difference being an MOCP is a maximum rating, but you can use a smaller rating. An OCP listing means we have to use that size regardless of any other calculations.
My ask is that we get an OCP parameter, and if filled out or >0 the OCP Trip will be set to that number regardless of any other FLA/load/MOCP calculation method picked.2 votesThe "OCP Trip" field is what we currently have for setting the OCP size. You can set it to a sizing method or set it to a specific value.
We currently do not have a way to some times provide a value and if there is not one, fall back to a different sizing method.

Size Motor Disconnect using NEC 430.110
Add a feature to size and label motor disconnects.
NEC 430.110 calls for 115% of the full-load current rating of the motor.
We could also include an option to require the disconnect to be at least as large of the OCPD rating of the circuit.
Also an option for a specific size selected by the user.
And an option for a specific custom value if you want to indicate something such as "With unit" or "Not required".
Finally, a list of acceptable sizes to use for the disconnect. A default list of standard sizes would be included but you could…

Set Selective Coordination Graph Voltage
Add an option to set the voltage that selective coordination graphs use for their display.
Currently the voltage is set based on the voltage of the majority of equipment displayed on the graph.
