+# Article 430 Motors, Motor Circuits, and Controllers
+
+## Part I. General
+
+### 430.1 Scope.
+
+This article covers motors,
+motor branch-circuit and feeder conductors and their protection,
+motor overload protection, motor control circuits,
+motor controllers, and motor control centers.
+
+<!-- TODO: TEXT OMITTED -->
+
+## Part II. Motor Circuit Conductors
+
+### 430.21 General.
+
+Part II specifies ampacities of conductors
+that are capable of carrying the motor current
+without overheating under the conditions specified.
+
+Part II shall not apply to motor circuits rated over 1000 volts, nominal.
+
+Informational Note:
+For over 1000 volts, nominal, see Part XI.
+
+Articles 250, 300, and 310 shall not apply
+to conductors that form an integral part of equipment,
+such as motors, motor controllers, motor control centers,
+or other factory-assembled control equipment.
+
+Informational Note:
+See 110.14(C) and 430.9(B) for equipment device terminal requirements.
+
+### 430.22 Single Motor.
+
+Conductors that supply a single motor
+used in a continuous duty application
+shall have an ampacity of not less than 125 percent
+of the motor full-load current rating,
+as determined by 430.6(A)(1),
+or not less than specified in 430.22(A) through (G).
