What else can I help you with?
For 200 amps service do you use 100 amps per 120 volt leg?
In a 200 amp service, each leg carries 100 amps. However, since the legs are 180 degrees out of phase, you can achieve 240 volts across both legs. So, a 200 amp service typically consists of two 120 volt legs, each providing up to 100 amps.
Who makes a main breaker 200 amp service that has built in 200 amp gfci?
Currently, there is no manufacturer that makes a main breaker 200 amp service with built-in 200 amp ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection. GFCI protection is typically provided through individual GFCI outlets or circuit breakers installed within the electrical system.
How do you find out how big your main breaker box is?
Simple. Your main electrical panel will have a "main breaker". This will be a two pole breaker, usually at the top of the panel. It will have a number on the breaker "handle" such as 150 or 200. This is the maximum number of amps your panel can supply. Most newer homes, 1975 and newer have a 200 amp service.
Can you hook up 200 amp dervice to a 125 amp service panel?
No, it is not safe or recommended to connect a 200 amp service to a 125 amp panel. The panel must be rated to match the amperage of the service to avoid overloading the panel and potential fire hazards. It is important to upgrade the panel to match the service amperage.
If you have a 200A Meter Main Combo do you need a main 200A breaker in the panel?
When I went to a 100 amp service I could not find a 100 amp. breaker in stock. I used a 60 amp. breaker and have never blown it. The 200 amp you are using can handle up to 200 amps, but if you use a smaller breaker it will only handle up to that amperage. The 200 amp is usally the total amperage of all the breakers comming out of the box. You will probably never come anywhere near using 200 amps at one time.
How many breaker amps will a 200 amp service with no main breaker support?
Check the nameplate on the service panel. There it will tell you what the buss capacity is. On a 200 amp service nothing in the wiring configuration is allowed to be less than that the service rating. In the market there are 200 amp 42 circuit distribution panels.

What size wire for 240 volts 200 amp service 200 feet away?
A 3/0 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 200 amps for 200 feet on a 240 volt system.
What is the maximum amperage capacity of a Siemens breaker that is rated at 200 amps?
The maximum amperage capacity of a Siemens breaker rated at 200 amps is 200 amps.
