NEC glossary

Full Load Current (FLC / FLA)

The current a motor draws when operating at its nameplate horsepower and voltage; the NEC requires using Table 430.248 (single-phase) or Table 430.250 (three-phase) values — not the nameplate amps — when sizing motor branch-circuit conductors and overcurrent devices.
