Replacing a 200 amp main breaker in an electrical panel involves turning off the power, removing the old breaker, installing the new one, and reconnecting the wires. It is important to follow safety precautions and consult a professional if unsure.
The maximum amperage capacity of the main breaker in a 100 amp sub panel with a main breaker is 100 amps.
The recommended size for a main breaker in a residential electrical panel with a 125 amp main breaker is typically 150 amps.
To change a 100 amp breaker in an existing box, first ensure your safety by turning off the main power supply to the panel. Remove the panel cover and carefully disconnect the wires from the old breaker, noting their positions.
