elgato Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 How would you report the capacity of this service? Service cable appears to be #2 aluminum. The service enters the basement and is fed to a switch. The switch has two 70 amp cartridge fuses. Then a #2 aluminum cable feeds a distribution panel with a 100 amp main. I think this is a 70 amp service. Am I correct? Photo shows the main switch. Click to Enlarge 80.34 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 It's a 70 Amp service. The service rating doesn't exceed the lowest of the main fuse rating, SE conductor rating or panel rating. Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Fabry Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Two of the three SE conductors are copper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 What's the rating of the service switch? (Looks like a real mess, by the way.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
