If all the loads supplied by that service are 120V loads (e.g. blender,
toaster, light bulbs, range hood, stereo, TV, computer, etc.) what do you get
when you divide that maximum power by 120V?
That would be 400A.
Exactly so.
Of course that's only in your imagination since
the math is invalid (120V is obtained by splitting the service into 2
separate halves, each of which is only 24KW).
200A each. Total of 400A of 120V loads -- as you said.
