Default What determines size of main breaker?

go with 200 amps its well worth just a few bucks extra


As another poster noted, the main panel breaker is sized to the drop from
the power company. IF the drop supports 200 amps then, yes, you might as
well spring for the larger panel. You never know when circumstances might
cause your unit to draw over 100 amps.
