If tripping occurs on motor inrush, adjust settings in increments until motors start without tripping. Do not exceed eight times the motor full-load amperes (or 11 times for NEMA Premium Efficiency motors if required). Where these maximum settings do not allow starting of a motor, notify COR before increasing settings. |

3.3 FOLLOW-UP VERIFICATION
A. Upon completion of acceptance checks, settings, and tests, the Contractor shall show by demonstration in service that the motor controllers are in good operating condition and properly performing the intended functions.
3.4 SPARE PARTS
A. Two weeks prior to the final inspection, provide one complete set of spare fuses for each motor controller.
