There are a few different ways.
If there is a disconnect before the panel, it is usually labeled with it's max capacity or what the maximum fuses are, assuming it is a fused disconnect.
If no disconnect is present, look at the main breaker for the entire panel. You can always check the main wires coming into your panel but opening a panel is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS and should only be attempted by a trained Electrician.

How many amps does a 100 amp service supply?
A 100 amp service will supply your electrical current needs UP TO 100 amps.When doing load calculations on a 100 amp panel it can only be loaded up to 80 amps.
How many watts in a 100 amp 110 volt electrical service?
The formula you are looking for is W = E x I. Watts = Volts x Amps.
Can you use a 1200amps service if you have a 1000amps on service?
No, you should not use a 1200amp service panel if your service is rated for 1000amps. Installing a panel with a higher amperage rating than your service can handle may lead to electrical safety hazards and code violations. It is essential to match your electrical service to the appropriate amperage for safety and compliance.
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.
A 60 amp electrical service panel at a 2800 square foot home would be?
A 60 amp electrical service panel is likely not sufficient for a 2800 square foot home due to the high electrical demand of a larger home. It is recommended to have at least a 100 amp service panel for a home of that size to adequately meet the electrical needs of the household. Upgrading to a higher amp service panel may be necessary to ensure safety and functionality.

What is an electrical bonding strap?
How do i install aluminum bonding strap in sub panel of 100 amp service
Can you use a 200 amp automatic transfer switch with a 100 amp service?
Yes you can as long as the sensing coils of the transfer switch are the same as the 100 amp service. The transfer switch has to be able to tell when the voltage is back from the utility side of the switch when the power is restored.
How much money to conver a 100 amp house to handle 350 amp input?
A 350 amp service is not a standard service distribution. It jumps from a 200 to a 400 amp rated distribution equipment. The only way to obtain a 350 size service is to install 400 amp equipment and fuse it at 350 amps. The standard size home distributions in North America today are rated at 200 amps. The cost of the service differs through out the continent. Ask your local electrical contractor for an estimate on an electrical upgrade to the required service that you want.

What is the largest sub panel you can install off from a 60 amp main panel fed by 100 amp service?
You can install a 100 amp sub panel off a 60 amp main panel fed by 100 amp service. This allows for the sub panel to be adequately powered with headroom for future circuits or expansions. It is important to ensure the wire size from the main panel to the sub panel is sufficient to handle the load.
Can you use a 1200amps service if you have a 1000amps on service?
No, you should not use a 1200amp service panel if your service is rated for 1000amps.

Can you install 100 amp service in 200 amp meter base?
No, each size service needs its own meter base.
Can you tap off of a 200 amp service for 2 100 amp panels?
Yes, but at every reduction in wire size there has to be a breaker sized to the smaller wire size. The wire size for 100 amp panels is recommended at #3 copper conductor. From the 200 amp feeder panel you will require a 100 amp two pole breaker for each of the two 100 amp services. Keep in mind that if you run the 100 amp services close to maximum this will take away the capacity of the 200 amp service for other branch circuits coming off of it. Also keep in mind that if the panels are located, not in the same building as the 200 amp service that the 100 amp panels will be treated as separate services and will have to be constructed like a 100 amp service. This includes ground rods. Also the bonding screw will have to be removed that connects the neutral buss to the panel enclosure.
What gauge wire for service entrance in Wisconsin?
