What is the difference between a 60A service and a 100A service and how is the difference recognized?
The difference is the difference in the size of service entrance conductor and maximum ampacity of the service equipment [panel].
The panel will be labeled and the main breaker, if there is one, will say 100 on the operating handle.
It is unlikely you will find a sixty amp service unless it has fuses [probably with pull-outs] and cloth service cable [it will be very old]. Many of these old fuse services may be 100 amps.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

What else can I help you with?
When did builders start installing 100A service with breakers in new constructions in Minneapolis Minnesota?
I don't know anything about Minneapolis except that it's cold, but anything under 100 Amps is normally inadequate for an average home. Therefore, the service you mention is the bare minimum required for a home of less than 2,000 sf leaving little room for future consumption and the possibility of costs for upgrading to a larger service.
If a 100a breaker keeps tripping?
If a 100 amp breaker keeps tripping there is an overload on the system.
What size pipe and size aluminum wire are required for a 100A sub panel off a 200A main service?
For a 100A subpanel, a minimum of 1.5-inch Schedule 80 PVC conduit or 1.25-inch rigid metal conduit is recommended. As for the aluminum wire, for a 100A feeder, you would typically use 1/0 AWG aluminum wire for a 3-wire setup or 2/0 AWG aluminum wire for a 4-wire setup. Always consult local electrical codes and a licensed electrician for precise specifications for your installation.
Can you run 30a per phase on a 100a panel?
No, you should not load a panel beyond its rated capacity. In this case, a 30A load per phase in a 100A panel would exceed its capacity and could cause overheating or other safety hazards. It's important to properly size the panel based on the expected load requirements.
Can you upgrade a 100A main circuit breaker to a higher amp?
I doubt if the 125 amp breaker will fit into a 100 amp box. This is due to the rating of the box only being rated at 100 amps. If this exchange could be made then the service conductors feeding the box must be upgraded to take the 125 amperage that the breaker will allow on the conductor.
What is the recommended wire size for a 100A service?
The recommended wire size for a 100A service is typically 2 AWG copper or 1/0 AWG aluminum.
How do you upgrade the service from a 120V 100A circuit breaker to 240V 30A for appliances like ovens and dryers?
Have an electrician wire you a proper line for the appliance. You were just kidding about the 100A, right? 10, or 20amp, not 100.
What is 100a pipe?
this is pipe size dn100 ( Diametre Nominal 100) =100A
If your service cable coming to the meter says 600V 3cd on it is it 100 150 or 200A and would upgrading to 100A from 60A be good enough for a 2-story single family 7 room home?
In my experience it is best to upgrade to an 200 amp service. The cost difference is minimal and is a selling point for the future. This includes replacing the service cable and Meter Box.
Is 100a - 35 a monomial?
No because 100a-35 is an algebraic expression containing two terms.
How many circuits can you have with 100A service?
As many as you want without exceeding the 100amps. You could have 100 circuits if all you have is a single 100watt light on each circuit.
Who made the Revelation Model 100A?
Mossberg
What is A apart of a whole expressed in hundredths?
It is 100A hundredths.
What are the release dates for The Electric Company - 1971 100A 5-100?
The Electric Company - 1971 100A 5-100 was released on: USA: 5 March 1976
What is the recommended wire size for a 100A subpanel installation?
The recommended wire size for a 100A subpanel installation is typically 3 AWG copper or 1 AWG aluminum.
What is the recommended wire size for a 100A electrical circuit?
The recommended wire size for a 100A electrical circuit is typically 3 AWG copper or 1 AWG aluminum.
How do you remove alt 100A fuse in a 1997 Toyota Corolla?
I just removed a ALT 100A fuse in my buddy's Toyota Corolla from 93'. I had to disasemble the hole fusebox in the engineroom, to take the fuses out from beneath it. They are boltet on, (search google: "ALT 100A" first article). Hope this was helpfull. Rasmus DK.
