Default Electrical advice-30A circuits

[snip]

My double electric oven is 40A, IDK what the electric cooktop
is, but probably 30A? AC breaker is 50A, probably only pulls
half that when it up and running. Hot tub is on a 40A.
Electric dryer is 30A.


My cooktop is on a 30A breaker. I have measured the current (clamp meter
at the panel), and it is a little over 30A with all elements on high,
although that it unlikely to happen in normal use.

I remember electric stoves with 120V outlets on the control panel.

Like you say, mine is 48KVA, I have friends who have larger homes
with 72KVA.


I have a 100A main breaker, but the A/C compressor is connected to a
separate 50A breaker (new unit is more efficient, and should need less
than half that).
