Can a 240 hot tub be hooked up safely to a 100 amp service on your home?

Yes it certainly can be wired up safely following all code requirements. The 240 volt circuit breaker needs to be a GFCI 2 pole breaker rated for the tub. Most require 50 amps, however, some are larger so check your specifications. And of course the supply wire must be the correct size for the tubs required amperage. (for example, # 6 gauge for 50 amp) The bigger question is whether your 100 amp service has enough total power to operate the tub and your other normal loads. It may not. 100 amps is a small service. The only way to pre-test is for an electrician to take an amprobe reading in your panel while you have your other normal loads on.

What is the average cost for pole and electric hookup?
Home distributions vary because of different factors. The type of heating in the home is the greatest variant. If the home is completely electrically heated you could see how the difference in cost could be as compared to heating the home with natural gas.The size of the service is bidirectionally proportional to the cost of construction of the service. Higher amperage equipment is more expensive to purchase.In the 60's a rough estimate used to be about a dollar an amp. A 100 amp service could be installed for about 100 dollars. Today the cost has jumped to about 10 dollars an amp for time and materials. For most new home service constructions today the panelboard is usually rated for 200 amperes.
What is the amperage of ordinary household appliances?
Hi, It really depends on when your home was built and whether or not you have an older home that had an upgrade at one time or another. For older homes, it was usually 60 amps and for the newer homes, it's usually 100 amp service. Most homes today have 100 amp service, but lately, the trend has been installing a higher amperage service, usually around 200 amps. All that means, is that you have that much power available, and of course, you're generally billed for what you use and not how large the available service is. Hope that helps, Cubby

Can you use 20 kva transformer in a home?
Yes you could use a 20 kva transformer in a home. Stymied as to why it would be done though. You would need at least a 100 amp service to the home to energize the transformer. Primary side of the transformer would draw 83 amps at 240 volts. If the question was to supply the home, again yes. It would be 100 amp service equipment that the transformer would feed into.
