This came up elsewhere and I am just curious about what the answer is.

If someone has a main service panel with a 200-amp main breaker, how
many
amps of service can that panel actually service?

I am probably not wording this correctly, but I thought that I remember
something about a 200-amp main breaker actually being okay for 400 amps
of
service since there are two separate circuits coming in (a 240-volt
service
split into two 120-volt circuits in the panel box).


How many 50A, 120 Volt receptacles can be on a 200 amp 120/208V 3 phase
panel per code??


Are there any 50 amp receptacles even made for 120 volts ?

If so , there is probably not a limit on the number.

Yes 60 amp. #HBL-360R4W and 100 Amp. #HBL-3100R4W
