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 else can I help you with?
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?
The voltage for the air compressor is needs to come from a double (two) pole breaker. The size of the breaker needs to be 250% of the full load amps of the compressor. The wire size to the compressor has to be 125% of the full load amps of the compressor.
200 amp main and would like to add another 100 amp service in another room how can you do this?
If you are doing this you are effectively limiting your main panel to 100 A with normal duty cycles. This can get complicated and an electrician is advised. But basically you have a 100A breaker that would typically be for 220-240 volt service and you would connect to the main of the second panel. The size of the wire between the two panels would have to be sized correctly and you would only bond ground and neutral at the main panel and not the branch panel. You might want to move some of the loads from the main panel to the branch depending on load calculations. If you know what you are doing and have access to a clamp on amp meter you could measure how much of the 200 Amps you are using at the current panel. This can be dangerous, so get an electrician or be careful. <<>> In the trade this is called a sub panel. It is a complicated job in as much as you have to know wire sizes, ampacity of wires and proper electrical workmanship. Such a project should be left to a licensed electrical contractor to take out the proper permits and call for proper inspections. By taking this route it will leave you confident that if any mishaps happen to the installation down the road your insurance company will be behind you 100%.
What are the standard subpanel sizes available for residential electrical installations?
Standard subpanel sizes available for residential electrical installations typically range from 60 amps to 200 amps.
Can I use 200 watt siren if originally my unit come with 100 watt siren?
It depends on the circuit that controls the siren. The circuit may be designed for only a 100 watt device and by doubling the current through the circuit, the circuit may be destroyed.
How do I add new circuits to an 100 watt electrical box from the 1970'sIt has two open slots on the bottom and should I add a subpanel or upgrade the whole box I am disabled and have ltd resources?
It depends on what you are adding for a load. There is nothing wrong with what you have, but if you have more than two circuits to add, a subpanel is your answer if the loads are lighting or other small stuff. Pricewise and ease of installation equals a subpanel. If adding larger loads, an upgrade to 200 amps is necessary.
