Best Answer

You need to determine this by estimating what circuits you will need based on location and power requirements. An experienced electrician can help you with the design, but you are the one that knows what you have now that requires power and what you are planning for the future. You want to size the panel for some growth and you want to locate the panel so it reduces the amount of wire that must be run and yet be accessible to the source of power.

You can get a copy of the National Electric Code and there are tables that show various design requirements.

How do you remove the front interior passenger side door panel of a 2002 Dodge Ram SLT 4x4?

start by pulling the door panel out at the bottom - no screws here. it will pop but that's ok - keep pulling out the panel around the sides until you get about half way up. then pull out the electrical switchplate - also no screws - and unplug both sides. next unscrew the door opener handle (one screw). now pull out the handle that is used for pulling the door closed. this will expose two more screws that need to be removed. the hard part is this - push the unscrewed door opener handle through the slot it sits in. the last step is to push in on the center of the plastic circles on the top left and right. the panel should now almost fall off.

How do you design a 6 panel brochure?

You first decide the size of the brochure. A brochure with three panels on each side of the sheet is a "three panel" brochure, btw. I've been asked for "six panel" brochures when they actually wanted "three panel" ones. We're going to use classical brochure sizing, which makes each panel 4" wide x 9" tall; a three panel brochure will fold out to 9" x a bit under 12". A brochure whose flat size is 8-1/2" x 11" is an abomination. Your brochure can be laid out two ways. One is 3 panels wide x 2 panels high - 18" x 12". On this one, one side is designed as both sides of a 3 panel brochure, with the tops of the two brochures touching. Then the reader opens it up and finds a neat little 18 x 12 poster inside. If this brochure doesn't bleed, you can run it two-up on a 19x25 sheet. If it bleeds, you'll run it on a 20x26 sheet. The other layout is 6 panels wide x 1 panel high - 9 x 24. This is very, very important: all the panels aren't the same width. The two outside panels - the "cover" panel and the "mailing" panel - are 4" wide. After that, subtract either 3 points or 1/16" for each panel. So...if you have a 6 x 1 brochure the panel widths are: two outside panels: 4" next panel: 3-15/16" next panel: 3-7/8" next panel: 3-13/16" next panel: 3-3/4" If you don't do it, the inner panels will bulge up.

Should you upgrade your electrical panel from 70 to 100 amps?

If you are contemplating an electrical upgrade the 70 to 100 jump is not justified. Presuming that you are going to get a qualified electrical contractor to do the installation along with the proper permits, go to a 200 amp panel. Your labour costs are going to be the same no matter what size panel you get installed. The only difference in costs will be the materials. Go for a 200 amp 42 circuit distribution panel. It will increase your resale value of the house should you decide to sell in the future.
