Motor Circuits

+ = = +

I have a project where the RDP's have motorized mechanical dampers
planned for installation in some buildings........On the plans at the
electrical panel directory, they have only one Damper listed, at a 20
amp rating, single pole.

QUESTION: I seem to [ vaguely ] remember that all motor circuits
were required to have their own individual, dedicated circuit & individual
disconnect.......Is this a true statement, or can multiple motorized pieces
of mechanical equipment be on one circuit ?

Please provide the applicable NEC Article or Articles........I am using the
`14 & `17 NEC........Either one of these Standards will be acceptable.

Thanks for your input !

Actually, in going back to the `17 NEC and re-checking the specific
Article, it should have been Article 430.53.

Thank you sir !
