UL 508A Sizing feeder Circuit

[paulohpm]

Hello,

I am sizing a feeder circuit for a panel according to UL 508A and came into a question:

My input current is of 76.5 A (considering all the loads), thus, it is fine for me to use a cable of 4 AWG (max. 85A @ 75 c).
For the circuit breaker I did 76.5 A x 1.25 = 96 A and then I selected a breaker of 100A.

My question is: 
Is it ok for me to keep this configuration according to UL 508A? 100A breaker + 4 AWG load side cable
Or do I need to level up the cables?

Thank you very much in advance!

size the wire to the breaker amps

The purpose of the breaker is to protect the wire and it's insulation from melting or starting a fire.  If the breaker is oversized for the wire, then you are essentially protecting nothing.

Spec the wire at 125% of maximum possible load.
Spec the breaker at 90% of the wires load rating.
In most locales this should exceed the code requirements.
