[Shop-talk] Electrical fire waiting to happen

[Galt, Stuart A]

Where I live there are two different options... one is a 400 amp service
(one very large breaker) and the other one is called a double 200... It
is useful if you have say 200 amps for the house and another 200 for the

garage.  It is also significanly cheaper.

Stuart (with, 100, 200, and double 200 service)...
