•Normal or Load Current may be defined as the current specifically designed to be drawn by a load under normal operating conditions . Depending upon the nature of the load, the value of normal current may vary from a low level to a full-load level. Motors offer a good example. Normal motor current varies from low values (under light loading) to medium values (under medium loading) to maximum values (under maximum loading). Maximum load current is called full load current and is included on the motor nameplate as FLA (Full-Load Amperes).
•Normal current, therefore, may vary from low values to FLA values. Additionally, normal current flows only in the normal circuit path. The normal circuit path includes the phase and neutral conductors. It does not include equipment grounding conductors.
