My house has 200-amp electrical service. The wires come from the pole to the meter on the side of the house, and then to the circuit breaker panel in the basement. The panel is a 70's era "ITC Pushm

Doug,You have what is referred to as a split bus panel. These no longer meet code for the reason you stated, no main disconnect. The sum of your breakers is within the 200 Amp main feed, as you will

Isn't the meter itself installed into a socket ? That's how you kill the power to my panels ... Randall _______________________________________________ Shop-talk mailing list http://autox.team.net/m

That would definitely work, but theoretically I would have to call the power company to come out and do it, since the box is sealed. doug _______________________________________________ Shop-talk mai

We had one in our old house, probably installed in about 1970 as a rewiring job (by an electrician who had every outlet except one in the whole house polarized backwards....). I replaced 4 or 5 of th

Doug, I've been away from the computer. As far as the load you're fine, as two of the breakers are really main breakers for your sub buses, Call your utility company and see if they will let you pull
