I don’t think you have a basic understanding of electricity. The simple relationship between power, current and voltage seems too hard for you to understand.

“Why does anyone need 200A service? It’s a joke”

You bought it. Why did you buy it.

You get a panel with a 200A breaker that can’t EVER be tripped because the transformer feeding your house is pathetically undersized....... False advertising.

Apparently you do not understand the basics of power distribution I you thought that buying a 200 Amp panel would give you 200 Amp service.

Next time consult an electrician.

Why can’t you admit that most people think if they have a 200 amp panel fed with 250 gu. alum. USE wire that they will be able to draw up to 200A. The can’t. Why you ask? Because the power company limits them to 12.5KVA in a lot of cases.

Most people don’t know what size their panel is. All most know is if the plug fits the socket all is hunky-dory.

If the bury a 250 ga aluminum USE to your house they will put in a 200A panel. I believe that is code. The main breaker has to “protect” the USE ga.

They are not saying full charge that is what they want you to hear. They said 100 miles. Like putting 4 gallons into a 18 gallon tank. One half hour.

Not good
