An electrical panel schedule is the index that you find on the inside of the door to the distribution panel. If the panel has no door the index is usually stuck on the face of the panel. The label has numbers on it that correspond to the breakers inside the distribution panel. A description of what the breaker feeds is written in the space next to the breaker number. Electricians usually write this description in pencil so that the description can be changed if the breaker's load is changed.

The main breaker will have marking indicating size of electrical service, or if it is a fuse system....the fuses will have current ratings. If it is a subpanel, it might not have a main breaker.

The 200 amp you are using can handle up to 200 amps, but if you use a smaller breaker it will only handle up to that amperage. The 200 amp is usally the total amperage of all the breakers comming out of the box. You will probably never come anywhere near using 200 amps at one time.
