TaigaNo, you cannot add 100 amps to a 200-amp rated electrical box. The box is designed to handle up to 200 amps safely. Exceeding this limit can lead to overheating, electrical fires, and other safety hazards. If you need more amperage, you would need to upgrade to a larger capacity electrical panel.

How many amps will 10-2 wire carry at 100 feet?
A #16 copper conductor is not a wiring size that is used in homes. This is because the smallest breaker for residential use is rated for 15 amps. A #16 copper conductor is only rated at 13 amps. For a load of 13 amps over 100 feet a #12 copper would be required.
Is it safe to have 200 plus amps in breakers inside than 90 amps on the main service breaker outside?
I am assuming by your description that the panel is protected by a 90 amp breaker and the breakers in the panel when added up is 200. This is okay as long as your 90 amp breaker trips on a regular basis. It is typical for the breakers to add up to more than the main breaker under the assumption that you would rarely be running each circuit at its maximum capacity.
What size breaker is needed for a 240 volt 34 amp hot tub?
Add 25% so it comes to 42 amps
How can you tell what the amp service is in your house?
To determine the amp service in your house, locate the main electrical panel. The amp rating is typically labeled on the main circuit breaker. Common residential amp services are 100 amps, 150 amps, or 200 amps.
What is the equivalent of 150 VA in amps?
To convert VA (volt-amps) to amps, you need to know the voltage. If the voltage is 120V, then 150 VA is equivalent to 1.25 amps (150 VA / 120V = 1.25 A). If the voltage is different, you will need to adjust the calculation accordingly.
