If you have a measured continuous load of say 80 Amps, you would want to have a panel rated at 100 A. For continuous load you want to be at 80% of rated capacity.

How many amps can be put on a 125 amp service?
You should not load a 125 amp panel any more than 100 amps.
How many movements of the hand should it take to turn off all the breakers in a service panel with no main disconnect?
as many times times two as there are switches. All circuit boxes should have a main disconnect according to most electric codes and the NFPA, so that the box can be serviced or replaced safely. On household breaker panels the main disconnect is located beneath the service meter. <<>> The answer to this question is dependant upon how many breakers are in the panel. If you use the one finger method then the hand movement will equal the amount of breakers present in the load center. If you need all of the breakers off for some reason then use the outside of your hand and you can turn off eight at a time. If it is a 32 circuit load center then using this method it would take four hand movements. This second answer is NOT recommended for safety reasons. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Note: It is NOT recommended to put both hands into an electrical panel, as this could complete a circuit (from loose wires, broken switches, etc.) sending an electrical charge through the heart, stopping it. As few contacts as possible with the panel is recommended, one. Therefore, switches in a panel should only be thrown one at a time for the same reason; again, refer to electrical and NFPA Codes.
Can you put a bathroom in a room that has the electrical panel in it?
absolutely not... Besides the fact that "absolutely not" is the common sense answer, the NEC strictly forbids electrical panels from being in bathrooms. There are very few other restrictions, including the fact that there is no restriction on how close to water a panel can be. But the restriction on panels in bathrooms stands tall.
Put the load right on me?
Slang for come on me.
Can you put a 60amp breaker and a 50amp breaker on a 60amp subpanel just as long as they are not being used at the same time?
You can. Using these size breakers in a 60 amp sub panel might be pushing the limit for breaking the sub panels feeder breaker. The breaker feeding the sub panel will have to be no bigger than 60 amps because of the main bus bar capacity of the sub panel. It would be better to install a 100 amp sub panel and then there would be a bit of a buffer and you will have the ability to add additional small load circuits.
Can you load an electrical panel with only 20 amps?
If you mean can you put a single 20 amp breaker in an electric panel, the answer is yes. An electric panel is typically made to handle more breakers with values that add up to more than the rating of the panel on the supposition that you will never draw full load on all breakers. If you do the main breaker would trip. In your case you are under utilizing the panel, but this is not a problem.
What is it when you put your car into drive the instrument cluster panel wont work?
electrical issue
What is pinion pre load?
It is the compression put on the bearings during assembly. It is measured as a turning torque measurement.
How many amps can be put on a 125 amp service?
You should not load a 125 amp panel any more than 100 amps.
How we calculate load of electrical instrument?
I am not an electrical guy....but since this question was left unanswered....i'll just put in some nonsense!! For AC Load: VxIxPF (V=VoltageRequired, I=Current Required, PF=Power Factor) The Power Factor is normally considered to be 0.8 as a thumb rule. For DC Load: VxI, here the power factor is consisdered to be 1, since it is a DC current !! Byeee!
Why does a 1989 Jeep Cherokee die when put under a load?
Could be a variety of things. What kind of load towing or electrical? check fuel/ fuel quality, Timing, spark plugs wires cap rotor,if electical could be battery or alternator
How do you prevent Frost behind breaker panel?
Don't put the panel on a outside wall. If you do not have a choice put insulation between the panel and the sheating.
What is the definition of Load?
It means to put something in another thing you 'load' it
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!
How do you use a Game Boy advance gamesharks?
you enter it into your system then load it up like on ds put it in turn it on a load it up then put your codes in you enter it into your system then load it up like on ds put it in turn it on a load it up then put your codes in
How do you calculate the load your electrical panel has on it for example how many devices or total current can be put on a 200A service panel?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.(LIFE SAFETY WARNING! [disclaimer]Electricity is dangerous!You can be injured or killed!Improper installations can cause fire, injury and death!Should you be doing this yourself?)How do you calculate the load? Every situation is unique. How do you cook dinner? Do you have pork or tofu? Get a cookbook.The basic information is in the National Electrical Code:Article 210.18, 220.25Article 220Article 430Article 520Article 550p.s. - [hint] Electrical equipment is allowed to be operated continually [over 4 hours] at 80% of nameplate [nominal] rating, unless rated for other loads. This would suggest you can load your panel at 160 amps at 240 volts forever.I think the answer above is a very good one but may be more academic than you are looking for. You are probably thinking of adding something on and took a look at your service panel. If you start adding up the individual breaker amp ratings you will come up with a number that far exceeds the 200 amp main rating, that is not the way loads are calculated on services, if you have breaker space and unless you double the floor space of your home you should be able to safely add load to your 200 amp service.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
How do electrical companies store electricity?
They don't. Power is always being used somewhere, and the electrical systems are connected all over the country.AnswerThere is no direct means of storing electrical energy, Energy companies generate energy to meet the demand placed on it by the load being supplied. If the load goes up, then more energy is generated to meet that load; if the load goes down, then less energy is generated. The energy generated does not exceed the load.Energy can be stored indirectly. For example, hydroelectric power systems rely on the water stored behind dams in order to generate electrical energy so, in that sense, energy is indeed being stored.
