Is it necessary to balance a house fuse panel to save electricity and if so why and how is it done?

A balanced house panel should be the ultimate goal. It will not save you electricity as the watt meter on the house monitors the use of power from both legs of the incoming power. To balance a panel you want the current from L1 to Neutral to equal L2 to Neutral. The neutral carries the unbalanced current between L1 and L2. A perfectly balanced panel will have no current on the neutral. It is done by knowing what the current draw is on every breaker. Then they are physically positioned so that they equal each other on the opposite leg. e.g. breaker 1 on leg L1 = 5 amps, breaker 2 on leg L2 = 10 amps, breaker 3 on leg L1 = 10 amps, breaker 4 on leg L2 = 5 amps. Total up all amperages on L1 and then on L2 , if they are equal then the panel is balanced with no current on the neutral.

What is a device that converts solar energy into electricity?
a device called a photovoltalic panal
What is MDB and SMDB in electrical?
MDB= Main Distribution Board, it is usually fed from a substation and supplies electricity to a Sub Main Distribution Board ( SMDB ) The SMDB goes on to supply electricity for a panel
Do you need a main disconnect on the feeder wires running to a detached garage running from the box in the house?
Yes you do. The detached garage will either be fed with a single circuit or a sub panel. The wire feeding the garage will need to be protected and that is the purpose of the breaker (disconnect). The breaker size will be determined by the size of the wire that is used on this circuit.
Can you tap meter and feed panel in detached garage?
No. Any connections to the detached garage have to be after the main disconnect of your house panel. You have two options here. You can replace meter with a meter disconnect combo and have the main feed your house and add a breaker to feed the garage or You could install a 400 ap service and place two disconnects at the meter. one for the house and one for the garage. unless you are going to have a serious electrial load in the garage you sould just feed off the panel in the house for cost effectiveness.
What gauge wire to use for direct burial for a garage that is 400 feet from your house?
Depends on the size of the sub-panel in that garage. If you are installing a 60 amp sub-panel 400 feet away from the main service panel then use AWG # 4.
What do you need to open rodricks door in wimpy wonderland?
You have to use the Joshie membership card you got from Rowley after getting into his house, to open the door to the left in Greg's house. From there, you will find an electricity panel and you can turn his electricity off. He will then leave the house and you can get in :P
Does a solar panel produce more electricity then it takes to make the panel?
Probably because a solar panel can produce electricity for many years.
How much does it cost to move an electricity meter?
The meter is typically installed in the main circuit panel of the house. If you want to move it, you can do it as part of a service / panel upgrade. We did this when we moved into our new house - we replaced the 1950s vintage main circuit panel and 100A service with a newer 200A panel and service. It was about a grand, but we didn't actually move the panel from where it was, so it may cost more for what you want.
How do solar panel produce electricity?
The solar panels produce electricity by the sunlight.
How much electricity does a 6 inch square solar panel produce?
That depends on the panel.
Why solar panel can't be used to meet domestic need of electricity?
because the energy produced from the panels is just not enough to power a house load of energy!!
What energy is produced from sunlight and solar panel?
Electricity
How do you create electricity from the sun?
You use the solar panel.
What is a panel thief?
A panel thief is a thief who operates in a panel house.
Is panel house better than brick?
Yes, the panel house is better than the brick house. This is because the panel house is greener, cleaner, more energy efficient and environment friendly as compared to the brick house.
Which object converts light to electricity?
A solar panel converts light into electricity.
Where does the energy come from in your house?
The main electrical panel is connected to the city's or municipal power grid. Heat may come from natural gas, oil or electricity. The original source of the electricity may be a dam (hydro) or a coal fired generating station.
