    Question about a sub panel?

    Your supply line is good for 100 amps. The xhhn-2 designation means there insulation is rated for 90 deg C which in turn increases the load rating by 10 amps. So your good there. You do need nail plates though.

    Compressor belt bouncing

    There are two tension specs for belts. New installation and retensioning. The new spec takes into account the expected stretch that will occur. So, Yes, a belt does stretch from new. They wear as use continues and will still become loose. Typical PM's should include belt tension adjustment.
