I was looking at my panel for information and the following caught my eye "maximum rating sum of all breakers 140 per a stab." Ive only briefly looked on the web but any interpretation would be helpful. Are they saying the total amps per leg of breakers can be 140 or less or are they saying no breakers over 140? Hope its not total of all breakers.

Thanks for thoughts. Ill look around some more on google too.

Unlikely to be no breakers over 140 as they barely exist . Be helpful to know the brand name, model number for the panel, and listed amperage rating.

The sum of the amperages of two breakers directly across from one another cannot be more than 140A.

It's a per bus stab rating. K buz has explained it correctly.

It is a Cutler Hammer I will get numbers tomorrow night. It has the meter on one side and breakers on other. 200 amp main that has spots below for 8 breakers in a row not across from each other then takes off to another panel. Since the breakers dont sit across from each other would it be next to each other? Example two 60 amp double pole next to each other ok but two 75 amp douple pole not ok? Currently the spaces in the panel are breakers for wires going to other panels.
