The sizing of an electrical panel is based on the total connected load. Most new homes today will use a minimum of 200 amp panel. This size distribution panel will give ample room for expansion in the future. As more and more appliances and larger connected loads appear on the market, distribution panels have gone from 30 to 60 to 100 to 125 and now the standard is 200 amps.
