Great, done deal and thanks. LA

One last question to MRB. Is there any reason I shouldn't go with a 100 and a 125 in the main box and then the 100 and 50 in the MLO load center just in case. I have a gas range, gas water heater, gas furnace and HE dryer in the home a probably do not come any where near to 100 amps in the...

Sounds good. I think it will work. I was just thinking, I will never be in my hot tub, have the table saw running back there and be welding or doing anything like that in my shop at the same time. So, I think this is good to go, and the easiest solution. I just priced those 150 breakers and...

Huh? I can dice 250A out of my 200A service according to the city. I have to do it right of course. I will not be doing anymore upgrades on this system or property so why do it a more expensive way? If I am following up above I can just add a 100-150 MLO load center and swap out the breakers and...

They will let me load here, the 125a are only like $38 bucks plus breakers. It only holds two. Is there anything wrong with my strategy? Here are some shop pics. I have better ones, before and after, but swithing to a new computer, I don't have my NAS hooked up yet. Here are a couple of pics. I...

What do I mean? Well good questoin. That was joke but really, wouldn't I have pull the house and backroom wires out and bring them into the "new 200a" somehow? Do I have enought length? Can I get that creative with my conduit to reroute it? Or, can I run it though the main to the new panel? I...

Thanks for all the responses. I really think this is the way to do it now. Athough putting in a new 200 would be some work if it invovles pulling out old cable and rebuilding some conduit dual cut in loop or something. I was just down at True Value inquiring (I live in the "most remote city" in...

Thanks, what is MLO? So, the MLO needs to have 2 breakers, one 150 and one 50. A special QN breaker, what is QN? Seems very doable. No way at all then of just adding a lug or tap then?

I wonder if it is more apt to accept a certified tap? By the looks of it, I am dealing with a bussbar station, if you will, rather than trying to tap an edge or something? What lies beneath the plastic shroud or cover, a one pole station or what? LN

This is not a password related to this site or anything else I use. I just dumbed one down for this purpose on a free site I could care less about. I wonder what gets people to go off like this? I hope these links are helpful to the problem at hand.

www.photobucket.com\l_anthonywiring password: l_anthony1 Might have found something here. The diagram shows bussbar 1,2 possibly available? Under a plastic cover? Its hot there though with no shutoff? Please take a look. Thanks, LA

Well it is raining here so no picture yet unless I find one I took earlier. Anyone know were I can post a picture and create a link to? Back to electrical. What I am using for a disconnect is a Eaton Cultler-Hammer 100A BR2100BRP.

Can we post pictures here?

I replied and bam, these latest replies hit. I will check on this lug kit, thanks.

Might have got a little frustrated. I was thinking about what someone mentioned early on, pull the 50A to the new edition, and is there a "proper lug" that fits were a breaker should be? I would then add a sub-panel with two breakers, add my 50 and 100 to that and pull my 50 wires and dress up...

Now I'm confused, I am adding a 100A sub (cut-off) at the house beside the main service because I am out of room. It goes to the garage and hooks up to a new 100A load service. Were can I hook the 100A cut-off to, the bussbar according to above? Aceman, when you say, "I highly suspect he'll be...

I am guesing now, but if the box is rated for 200A and code let's you go over like me to 250A because chances are I won't be using it all at once, I can see the logic. I can also see if you went over the rating, there would be problem. The buss is probably the sturdiest part of the whole thing...
