The only issue I have with Doug is that he refuses to acknowledge that
there is only a max 200 amp current flowing in the service cable. I
freely answered ALL his questions, yet for some reason he won't give a
straight answer to the simple question of how many amps max can ever
be flowing in the service cable. And in trying to evade the question
he dragged in voltage and power, which are seperate from the question
of how many amps max are ever flowing in the service cable.

"But as far as the loads go, you do have 400 amps going
through them, 120V * 400a = 48KVA of power".

That's a quote from one of *your* posts.

Apparently, it *is* possible to have a current 200 amps -- as long as it's
you saying so, not me.
