Hi folks,

I bought a home a year ago that was built in 66. I've since added 2
new circuits to the breaker box. I've noticed that at the top of the
box it says "amperes 150". The box's circuits total almost 210amps. is
the label of 150 amperes the max it's allowed? Am I over? Do I need a
new box? It was over 150 before I added the 2 20 amp circuits. I am
probably answering my own question...

do i run a fire risk leaving it like this, if it is over?

no biggie as lons as you dont max out the number of breaker slots. who
made the panel?

it's cuttler hammer. I appreciate all the information everyone. It
sounds like i'm in good working order. most of the stuff won't be
operating at full load generally. Thanks again!
