100A at 240V -- and, as noted above, if only 120V loads are in use, the total
current draw is (up to) 200A at 120V.
The power consumption is equivalent to 200A at 120V,
but only 100A are flowing. Kirchoff's Law will not
be violated!
Currents in series do not add; =voltages= add.
It's still 100A at 240V.
