An inspector issued a correction notice to us for having to large a breaker. The HVAC condenser calls for overcurrent protection of 35 amps. The unit is protected by 35 amp rated fuses. At the main panel the circuit breaker feeding the HVAC condenser is a 40 amp breaker. I can not find it in the NEC 2011, but I was always lead to believe you could go up to the next size in breakers as long as the fuses were sized correctly to the equipment.
