I believe this is what OP has, obviously a different brand/style, but same principle. Banks or mortgage companies are no longer loaning money for homes with this size service. If you have a home with this size service we recommend that it be upgraded to 100 amp service. I can go on further in explaining it, but again, this set up is completely safe.Īs for the people saying that that breaker isn’t tested to be there? Your little 20a breakers inside are attached to a bus that has 100+ amps of potential power? What’s the difference? This size service is inadequate for normal load use. They put in the 125a to feed interior and left you some room for other stuff in the future.
#125 AMP VS 200 AMP BREAKER BOX INSTALL#
No reason to have a 200 panel in a house, costs too much in wire size and equipment for contractors to install one and your typical house doesn’t need that much power. It’s rated for up to 200 amps, doesn’t mean you have use all 200. I only have the one 125 breaker feeding my interior panel, the other space is open for the future. My brand new house had the same meter/main combo.
As for the 30A, could be feeding a well pump, sub panel, RV charger, you’d have to look around to find what 30A piece of equipment your house has that’s not being fed out of your interior panel.
That 125A is your first means of disconnect for your interior panel and as long it as that panel is rated to be protected by an 125A OCPD (which it likely is) then it’s fine. Meter comes in, feeds a piece of bussing, those breakers are attached to the busing and feed your house. It’s a meter/main combo? Those breakers don’t have to be 200A? It’s completely safe as is.
