Default What determines size of main breaker?

I'll have to check around to see what is actually being enforced. Just
going by what I saw in the paper. No move is in the works yet; just want
get my ducks in a row. For now I'll concentrate on getting rid of other
code violations such as the A/C condensor's cutoff box is connected by a
short conduit run over to the meter box. That's gotta be a major one,
running the wires carrying post-breaker power past the pre-breaker power.

Also our town of maybe 24,000 believes it knows more about these things
than the NEC so it adopts the NEC minus the chapter on NM so better replace
or conceal any Romex or UF.
