Yes you can, but it is all about distribution of the load. You still have a maximum limiting current of 150 Amps. So if you did use 100 amps on the sub-panel that would only leave 50 amps on the main. Since power usage is usually not constant and varies by day and situation, you just need to make sure the load is distributed so you don't start tripping breakers.

What is the maximum amps for a sub panel?

The maximum amperage for a subpanel is typically determined by the size of the wire feeding it and the rating of the main panel. It is common for residential subpanels to be 100 or 200 amps, but it can vary depending on the specific installation and electrical code requirements. It's important to consult with a qualified electrician to determine the appropriate ampacity for your subpanel.


What is the current supply to a house amp?

The typical electrical service for a house in the US is 100 to 200 amps. This means the maximum current that can be safely drawn into the house at any given time is 100 to 200 amps. It's important not to overload the circuit as it can lead to electrical hazards.


How much you can use in 200A breaker?

200. Although you cannot exceed current ratings on any branch circuit without tripping that circuit. You need to make sure that you do not exceed 160 continuous load amps to meet NEC requirements of not overloading a breaker to more than 80% under continuous load.


You want to run power from your home you have a 200 amp in the house to a garage that you recently built you have 110 and 220 outlets The only 220 you plan on running is a small air compressor What?

You will need to install a subpanel in the garage with a capacity of at least 60 amps. This subpanel can be fed from the main panel in the house using appropriate gauge wires. Ensure that the 220V outlet for the air compressor is connected to the subpanel. The 110V outlets can be connected to the subpanel as well, distributing power as needed.


200 amp main and would like to add another 100 amp service in another room how can you do this?

To add another 100 amp service in another room, you would need to install a subpanel. This involves running a new electrical line from the main panel to the new location, installing the subpanel, and connecting the new circuits to it. It's important to ensure that the overall load on the main panel does not exceed its capacity with the addition of the new subpanel. Consulting a licensed electrician is recommended to ensure the work is done safely and up to code.
