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.


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.

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?

To calculate the load on an electrical panel, you add up the amperage ratings of all the devices connected to it. For a 200A service panel, you should not exceed 200A total load to avoid overloading the panel. Make sure to consider that some devices may draw more power when starting up (such as motors or HVAC equipment). It is advisable to consult with a qualified electrician to ensure the panel's load does not exceed its capacity.


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!

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!
