It depends on a lot of factors. Since you will have to get an electrician involved you should start there. It is likely that you can double the capacity, but the electrician would consult with your power company to determine what is possible. I recently went from 200 A to 400 A service with a large addition; and a transformer was required in the house with rework of the two panels I already had into 5 panels.

What is the maximum amps each phase conductor carries on 200 amp residential service?

Each phase conductor on a 200 amp residential service typically carries up to 200 amps of current, assuming the load is evenly distributed across all three phases. Each phase conductor should be able to handle the maximum current capacity of the service to ensure safety and proper functioning of the electrical system.


What does single pole and double pole mean on a twenty four vault circuit?

Single pole refers to a circuit breaker that interrupts the current flow of one hot wire, while double pole interrupts the current flow of two hot wires simultaneously. In a 240-volt circuit, a double-pole breaker is used to control both the hot wires, providing higher safety protection as both sides of the circuit are disconnected.


How many watts will a 60 amp 2pole breaker handle?

A 60 amp 2-pole breaker can handle up to 14,400 watts (60 amps x 240 volts). This is because a 2-pole breaker provides 240 volts, which is the typical voltage for larger appliances and machinery.


How many amps does a 2000 watt heater draw at 240 volts?

Amps * Volts = Watts So, Watts / Volts = Amps 2000 / 240 = 8.333 Amps You should run the circuit on a two pole 15 Amp breaker, using 14 AWG, 2 conductor (plus ground) wire, just so you have a little safety factor in the circuit size.


How many watts will a 30 amp two pole breaker handle?

A two pole breaker clips to adjacent buss in the breaker panel, supplies 240 volt power to equipnent like clothes dryers and air conditoning.The breakers have a mechanical common trip so if either pole exceeds its current rating both lines are opened shutting down the equipment.Each pole can carry up to its rated current of 30 amps.Hope this helps.

What is the Max distance from house to power pole?

The maximum distance of a wire drop between a service pole and service connection is undefined, as it depends on many factors not included in the question. The information needed to actually compute such a distance includes, but it is not limited to, the service volts, the service Class (60, 100, 200, 400 or more amps), and whether or not the drop involves a mid span tap -- that is, the service is actually connected not to a pole, but it is connected to secondary wires between two poles. <<>> A utility company will usually bring their service a maximum of 100 feet on to private property.
