3.2.7.2 The power rating of motors with ratings less than two brake horsepower (bhp)
at rated conditions shall be the next Navy standard rating larger than the rated bhp
multiplied by a safety factor of 1.5 - (Rated bhp).
3.2.7.3 The power rating of motors with bhp ratings of two or more bhp shall be not
less than 110 percent of the bhp of the driven pump at maximum rated condition.
