What else can I help you with?
A 60 amp electrical service panel at a 2800 square foot home would be?
If it was preinstalled, it may have been adequate at the time of installation. It depends on the power requirements of the home. If this is a new install, the NEC has a minimum of 100A for service equipment. To be honest, I would install 200A minimum to allow for future expansion.
Would a 125 amp service panel be enough for a 1900 square foot house?
Absolutely not. A 60 amp whole house service is totally insufficient to power todays home, especially a 2800 square foot house. The NEC (National Electric Code) requires a minimum of 100 amp electrical service to any single family residence.
Can you use a 1200amps service if you have a 1000amps on service?
The current output cannot exceed what is available. 1,000 amp service to a house is rather unreasonable and most likely would not be provided by the utility anyway. 100 amp or 200 amp service would be more likely.
The NEC requires a disconnecting means for a service would the main breaker of the panel be code for a disconnecting means?
Yes, the main breaker in the panel would meet the NEC requirement for a disconnecting means for the service. It serves as a way to disconnect power from the service entrance conductors, providing a means to safely de-energize the electrical system for maintenance or emergencies.
When would you want to upgrade the main electrical panel vs just adding a sub-panel?
Depending on how many breakers you have in your exisiting panel if you only have a old 6 or 8 circuit panel then I would suggest a new panel, In the newer building world where you have a 20 or 30 circuit panel then I would suggest a sub panel.
What is the need for electrical shutdown?
You would need to shutdown the power whenever you are working on the electrical service.
Can electrical panel be hung by conduit?
A bad idea. That would be against the electrical code and the manufactures specifications.Another answer:Agreed. Only use approved structural material to hang an electrical panel. If you need to hang it away from an existing wall, use Unistrut.
What would cause a loss of a phase in a 3-phase electrical supply panel connected to a refrigeration system?
You have to follow the lines. Could be blown fuse or any number of other things. Follow it back to the service.
What would you use to check an electrical panel for loose connections and excessive heat?
infrared thermal camera
What do they replace when upgrading from 60 amp to 100amp?
Usually you just have to replace the electric panel and maybe the electric meter and entrance cable. It would be unusual, but the power company may want to replace the cable from the local transformer to your house.
How much energy does a 213 TV need from a solar panel?
The same amount it would need from your electrical supplier.
How do you check electrical panel?
That depends on what you're trying to find.If there is NO power to the panel, you would put a volt meter across the lugs entering the panel or tighten the lugs holding the service cable.If one circuit is failing, you might want to remove the breaker and verify that it isn't arcing at the rail, or you might want to replace the breaker.If you simply want to check to see if there IS an electrical panel, just search for it; it's usually not too far from the meter base.As usual, if you don't understand electricity, the dangers of electricity and the proper wiring standards and practices, leave it alone and request that an electrical contractor perform the work for you!
