Yes. Many installations have breaker totals higher that the main breaker of the panel. It is worked on a percentage basis. Not all of the breakers will be on at the same time. In a home, on a 100 amp panel the average load is 50 - 60 amps. The 100 amp main breaker is protecting the 100 amp rated panel board. If the load current goes higher that the panel board is rated at, the main breaker will trip to protect the board.

Should an electrical panel be mounted on drywall?
Not a good idea. Install a back board. A backboard of 4' x 4' is of ample size to install the panel and anything else that needs to be mounted. A thickness of 1/2" is OK but 3/4" is perfect. Some times telephone and cable companies need mounting points and this board is just perfect for this.
Is a 16amp fuse ok for water heater?
I've never heard of a 16 amp fuse. -I guess it depends where you are. In north America, 15, 20 and 30 amp fuses are common, 40 are also used less commonly. A typical north American water heater uses 2 x 30 amp fuses or breakers. Please write in with detail of WHERE you are in questions like this.
Why do you abbreviate circuit as ckt?
This abbreviation comes from the 1950s US Navy electrical shipyards assemblies. It was used to abbreviate what was then called "Circuit Breakers". This is how the "K" crawled in. Today these parts are simply called connectors or headers but the abbreviation stuck since. Many say that it is a mere spelling error, but the fact is that English abbreviations are often misspelled compared to their origin words, for example - OK abbreviates "All Correct".
Is it ok to give more power than required without a resistor such as a series of LEDs that require 11.6 volts at 100 mA but actually powering them with 11.9 volts?
If you don't add a resistor to drop the additional voltage, you run the risk of burning up the LEDs.
What is ampacity of 25mm cable at 250 volts?
The amperage rating is dependent upon the insulation rating. A pair of 25mm squared wires touching each other are rated at 131 amps. Three 25mm squared wires touching each other are rated at 110 amps.

Outdoor night lights do not come on?
The simple explanation could be the switch might be off. If the switch is ON, maybe the power might be off at the electrical panel. Check to see if any circuit breakers is not tripped or fuse not open. If all power is ok, then check to see if your bulb is defective. If your bulb is ok, you might have a sensor on your light fixture that is defective.A possible scenario is...1. A defective switch2. Burned-out light bulb3. No power - check circuit breakers/fuse4. If sensor is present at fixture - it could be defective5. Broken wiresIf in doubt, call an electrician.
