Look at the large breaker at the top of the breaker panel. The rating
of that single breaker should be the overall rating of your service.
Could be 60, 100, 150 or 200 or something like that.


There's the answer that you seem to have ignored. Almost certainly the
main breaker will be sized consistently w/ the service. In any event, it
defines it because that's the point at which total load will trip it
(assuming you could reach that actual load/usage w/o tripping individual
circuit breakers and also, of course, the difference between nominal and
actual absolute trip points, etc., ...)


Thanks but the only thing on the big breaker is 'on/off' and a little GE
label.
