Increasing the electrical capacity of a residential or commercial property to 200 amps requires a series of steps. This typically involves replacing the existing electrical panel, upgrading the service entrance cable from the utility pole to the building, and ensuring the grounding system is adequate. Local electrical codes and utility company requirements dictate the specific methods and materials used during the process.
Expanding electrical capacity offers several benefits, including the ability to power more appliances and devices simultaneously without overloading the system. This is especially important for modern homes with increased electrical demands and businesses that require significant power for operations. Historically, electrical service upgrades have become necessary as technology advances and electricity consumption increases.
