    I am looking to add an 80 amp sub panel for my detached wood shop. The smallest sub panel I can find has a 100 amp main breaker in the panel. Would it be ok to use this panel, and just connect to an 80 amp breaker in the main panel? Thank you!

    What size is this supply?

    A relative in West Cheshire sent me this pic. He is contemplating having an EV charger and other electrical appliances fitted. He asked me if he has a 60A or 100A supply. From this pic, it looks like a 100A supply with 60A fuse fitted for some reason. He wants it to be 100A. Any ideas?
