What else can I help you with?
If you have a 200A Meter Main Combo do you need a main 200A breaker in the panel?
When I went to a 100 amp service I could not find a 100 amp. breaker in stock. I used a 60 amp. breaker and have never blown it. 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.
Is it possible to run 2500 feet of underground cable from one 200A breaker box to another 200A breaker box without a power loss?
It's possible to run 2500 feet of underground cable between two 200A breaker boxes, but there may be some power loss due to the resistance of the cable over that distance. To minimize power loss, it's important to use a cable with appropriate gauge size for the distance and amperage needed. Consulting with a qualified electrician to determine the best cable type and gauge for your specific situation is recommended.
How many KVA is needed for a 200A panel?
To determine the KVA needed for a 200A panel, you can use the formula KVA = (Voltage x Amperage)/1000. Assuming a standard voltage of 120V, the KVA would be 24 KVA (120V x 200A / 1000 = 24 KVA).
Can a 200A 240V house panel be fed by number 2 conductors from a service entrance meter panel with 200A main breaker?
No, number 2 conductors are not sufficient to carry 200A. You would need larger gauge wires to safely handle that amount of current. It is important to match the wire size to the amperage rating of the panel to prevent overheating and potential hazards.
What size main breaker feeding 480v 75 kva transformer?
An exact breaker size can not be given because the voltage, and hence the calculation for current, is not given. A transformer shall be protected by an over current device that is not rated at more that 150% of the primary current.

What cause the Main Breaker trips when I start a 30KW 3-phase Motor(Star Delt Starter)?
The wiring is like this:[[30KW Motor ---- Star Delt Starter(100A Breaker inside) ----- 200A Breaker------50A Breaker(Inside the breaker box which located inside the factory) -----100A Main Breaker]]Once I try to start the Motor, the Main Breaker trips immediately.
If you have a 200A supply with 10 breakers totaling 160A on one leg and 10 totaling 205A on the other can you install a dual 15A breaker on the first leg to add a heated floor with 800 watts?
breaker values aren't additive

What time-current characteristics for a 40A type B circuit breaker?
200a for rcbos to bs en 61009-1 for bs88-2.2 and bs 88-6 400a at 0.1 sec
What size cable is used for house wiring?
Copper SE cable gauge 00 from the meter socket to the breaker panel for a 200A service. Then 8, 10, 12, and 14 gauge wire depending on the load.
Which is easier to use a fuse or a breaker switch?
A breaker switch is easier to use.
What breaker do you use for 10 2 wire?
Use a 30 amp breaker.
Can a 200A 240V house panel be fed by number 2 conductors from a service entrance meter panel with 200A main breaker?
No, number 2 conductors are not sufficient to carry 200A. You would need larger gauge wires to safely handle that amount of current. It is important to match the wire size to the amperage rating of the panel to prevent overheating and potential hazards.
What should you do if your 200A breaker panel is full and you need to add three forty amp two pole singal throw breakers?
First you need to determine if addition of the new breakers will exceed the 200A service under normal operating conditions. If so you will need to go to power company and increase service and put in a larger main panel. If you have the capacity for the extra current you can add a sub-panel and add the breakers there as well as the breakers you will remove from main panel to accommodate the sub-panel breaker. Another way depends on what breakers are in current panel. There are some breakers that can be duplexed in the same space as a single breaker.
How do you determine if a breaker switch is bad?
You replace the breaker to see if that fixes the problem. There simply is no other practical approach. There exists testing equipment that will do this but it is much too expensive for general use.
