90 amps thats stupid go with 100 amps or u might get away with 60
What do u mean by enough space did u do a load calculation . Just because u put a 100 amp breaker in panel doesnt mean it draws 100 amps it only draws what it needswraunch said:I don't think there is enough space in the main panel for 100 amps. Believe me I want as much as I can get.
Here's my layout. I need at least 1 20amp dedicated circuit going to my equipment in the theater.
They need to do a load calculation, they cant go off the top of their head. You could put in a 200 amp sub panel in a 60 amp main if u wanted to as long as the loads dont exceed 60wraunch said:I have not done a load calc. That statement was just based off of 3 electricians that cane to bid the job telling me they though the max available would be 90. I don't know exactly how many amps I'll need.
Thats true if a customer had a 200 amp service i wouldnt even think of doing a load calc but if its a 100 amp service i would highly recommend it. Now the ultimate question is what size service does the OP haveMCB said:As eastcoastsparky said, you gotta do a load calc to know absolutely, but you should be fine with a 100A sub on a 200A service.
