No starting code letter or Code F to V maximum size 250% of full load amps up to next standard size of breaker. I usually use 200% for motor starting. I = 13.7A for 5HP motor. Circuit Breaker = 2.0(13.7A) = 27.4. CB1 Use 30A breaker maximum which is next standard size higher if motor will start with smaller breaker, it should be used. ................
