I am installing a new electric hot water heater in a home that was built in

direct me as to how to connect the wire running from the 220 v plug directly
to the existing fuse box.

How many fuses in the box? What amperage main? Many of that agec
cannot support a water heater (65 amp main was BIG in 1936.)
