House electrical panel box question
2 Attachment(s)
can someone tell me if this is 100amp or 200amp service?
|
I can't read what size the main breaker is. It should be a 100 amp but the important thing is that it is fed by at least a #2 gauge copper wire. It has to be at least that size to carry 100 amps. Main breaker is supposed to be sized to trip before the wire burns up. #2 copper is good to carry 100 amps thus can have a 100 amp breaker. I have seen where somebody has put a 100 amp breaker on smaller wire, that does not make it a 100 amp service. Wire could burn up before breaker trips.

The main breaker is 100 Amp, so.....

100 amp 220 volts

I am telling you what it takes to actually be a 100 amp service. The breaker is the right size but the correct wire size is part of the system. If it was installed by a licensed electrician everything should be correct for a 100 amp service. Odds are yes you have a 100 amp service. |
