Do they make 25 amp circuit breakers?
Yes, 25 amp circuit breakers are available, though they are less common than standard sizes like 15, 20, or 30 amps. These breakers can be used in specific applications where a 25 amp capacity is required, such as certain types of electrical equipment or circuits. It's important to ensure compatibility with your electrical system and to follow local electrical codes when selecting and installing circuit breakers.
Have existing a 125 amp main need more breakers spaces?
You can swap a single breaker for two mini breakers or you can add a sub-panel. If you only need a couple of extra circuits then just add mini-breakers.
How do you add circuit breakers to a 200 amp panel that is already full?
You can buy what are called Tandem circuit breakers. These only take up one space but allow you to connect 2 individual circuits to it. For example, say you had 4 - Single pole 20 amp breakers taking up 4 spaces. You could buy 2 - 20 amp Tandem circuit breakers and that would give you 2 additional spaces in your electrical panel. Just add up all your amps that your circuits will be pulling at one time to make sure you won't be overloading your electrical panel. One drawback to these Tandem breakers is that they are rough on your wallet. They are pretty expensive compared to regular breakers. Hope this helps
How many of the new split breakers are allowed in a two hundred amp panel?
Sizing what goes into a 200 amp panel whether it be split breakers or normal size breakers is based on the amperage values expected under normal use of the devices connected to the panel. For example if you could look at a continuous curve of usage you would see it vary throughout the day. This is because under normal living conditions you use you lights and appliances at different time. If you started to trip the main 200 amp breaker and the other breakers weren't tripping then you would need to increase your service from power company and add a new main panel. So giving you a count isn't possible. You could call in an electrician to measure your usage or just add the breakers you need and see if the main breaker trips.

You should read your local electrical code or consult a local electrician. The rules are there for your safety and the safety of the people who will buy your house later.
How many 50 amp breakers on 200 amp service?
In a 200 amp service panel, you can technically install multiple 50 amp breakers as long as the total load does not exceed the panel's capacity. However, the number of breakers is also subject to local electrical codes and regulations. Generally, the total amperage of all breakers should not exceed 200 amps, considering the load calculations. Always consult a licensed electrician to ensure compliance with safety standards and regulations.
How do you get four twenty amp circuits from two twenty amp circuits?
Remove the two twenty amp breakers from the regular size slot and install two mini amp breakers. A mini amp breaker has two breakers per regular size slot.
Can you tell the difference between a 15 or 20 amp circuit by the receptacle my box has 10 amps on the breakers and I know there is no such thing?
!0 amp breakers have not been used for quite some time . NEC made 15 amp the minimum requirement for 110/120 VAC circuit breakers a long time ago. If the breakers are only 10 amp, then those outlets can only carry 10 amps max.I would call an electrician. Your electrical service is terribly out of date and, in my opinion, inadequate and unsafe.
Have existing a 125 amp main need more breakers spaces?
You can swap a single breaker for two mini breakers or you can add a sub-panel. If you only need a couple of extra circuits then just add mini-breakers.
Need to move 2 breakers to a sharing breaker to add a 50 amp breaker need info on how to do this?

Can a 100 amp main have 2 50 amp breakers?
Yes, a 100 amp main panel can have 2 separate 50 amp circuits protected by 50 amp breakers. This configuration allows for two separate circuits drawing up to 50 amps each from the main panel without overloading the panel's 100 amp capacity.

What are the necessary components for installing a 200 amp breaker box with breakers in a residential electrical system?
To install a 200 amp breaker box with breakers in a residential electrical system, you will need the following components: The 200 amp breaker box itself, which serves as the main distribution point for electrical circuits in the home. Circuit breakers rated for 200 amps to protect each individual circuit in the electrical system. Properly sized electrical cables to connect the breaker box to the main electrical panel and to each circuit in the home. Grounding system components, such as grounding rods and grounding wires, to ensure the electrical system is properly grounded. Junction boxes and conduit to protect and organize the electrical wiring. Tools such as wire cutters, wire strippers, screwdrivers, and a voltage tester for safe installation and maintenance. It is important to consult with a licensed electrician to ensure that the installation is done correctly and meets all safety codes and regulations.
What are the specifications and features of a 150 amp breaker box?
A 150 amp breaker box is designed to handle electrical currents up to 150 amps. It typically includes circuit breakers, bus bars, and terminals for connecting electrical wires. The box is used to distribute and protect electrical circuits in a building.
What size breaker do I need on the main panel to run a 2-60 amp breakers and 2-40 amp breakers on a sub panel?
You need to calculate how much the total current is likely to be at any moment. It's probable that the total load will be less than the sum of the individual breakers, 200 amps, but how much less depends on local conditions.
