How many watts can I run through a shed that has this box in it?
Also who did the wires? Don't know any electrician to say old and new. We had new stickers to put on. Or we crossed what was there and wrote it on the lid. I'm worried it's to small of wire done by Joe smo.
that's why i said this in my first response.the box is rated for 100amps. you would need to check the breaker that feeds the box and the service cable to make sure it is getting 100amps. if so then you can run 100amps at 240v or 200amps at 120v; or a combination of both (i.e. 50 amps at 240v and 100 amps at 120v). looks like you have 2 20 amp tandem breakers. they look like the dual breaker kinds and not the 240v kind. so that means you have wired up 80 amps at 120v which leaves you another 80-100 amps at 120v if you play it safe. so 10,000w more or less.
sounds good man. send me a link when you get the thread started. would love to see that. if you have anymore questions just let me know. i build high end homes for a living so i know a lot about electrical and general contracting. feel free to pick my brain. good luck brotha!Thanks bro, stay tuned will have a thread up soon for this room. Gonna be lots of testing done in here, Cali Connection, TGA genetics, Gage Green, clone only strains from here in Cali. Gonna be fun!
6000w would definitely be pushing it but i think doable. He's not using a lot in the house and even running another 9,000 watts off that board wouldn't affect anything assuming the wiring is correct. You have to remember that for large items like the A/C and the Oven they aren't pulling even close to the rated amps on those breakers. 240v breakers are always oversized by 50% in my experience. Then, all those 20amp breakers are probably well below their rated amps as well; and some of them are spares. In my opinion he's got plenty of room.Yup that's set up right. But I wouldn't go with 6000w and add AC and all that. It's only a 200 service to the house.
