Why Service Electricians have it Rough

[@Darydude10]

You can't add them unless the panel allows for additional circuits

Lol jeez just take the 2 breakers off and tap wires into another existing breaker and boom there ya go you have 2 free spots for 240 no need for tandem

​@CompactOtterMMA it's very irresponsible of you to voice your stupid ideas.

[@inthemiddleof]

Every panel is rated for at least as many circuits as how many the breaker spaces in it. This panel is rated for more as it has designated spaces for tandems.

Load calculation?

lol the light didn’t respect you

[@michaelmedellin7762]

I guess where they're at it's not code to only use 80% of the box 🤨

[@inthemiddleof]

What code is that? Provide the reference. I never heard about it. I believe it doesn't exist.

[@Dupa-yash]

Are you referencing the breaker capacity? Never heard of a panel being rated for 80% of use.

[@DSNUTS304]

That looks like more than 100 amps!! Unless already upgraded to a 200 amp service. That house is going to BURN 🔥 down. 💔

[@inthemiddleof]

How in your mind that house is going to burn down? Even if the main breaker was only 100A. Don't you think it would cut out the power before the branch circuits pull more than the service rating?!

@@inthemiddleofif they don’t tape the breaker because it keeps tripping
