Subject - available amps?
bkm67 I'm wondering what available amps we have at a 480v 3p panel with 2 100a breakers and 1 20a breaker being fed from a 200a breaker located in a 800a panel?
wareagle What determines the answer to your question is as follows:
1. fault current available from the utility
2. Transformer kva size and %impedance
3. distance and size of conductor from source. This may be multiple sizes and distances involved.
Panel size and breaker size is not involved.
