Residential Load Center: 100 A Main Breaker
Drawing preview
The scenario

A residential load center receives 120/240 V split-phase service through a 100 A main breaker and distributes power to lighting, kitchen appliance, and electric dryer branch circuits.

What is in this drawing

Read the decisions behind it.

01

Model split-phase service with two 120 V sources sharing a neutral/ground bus.

02

Use single-pole disconnect switches for 15 A and 20 A branch breakers and two-pole disconnects for the 30 A dryer circuit.

03

Represent the dryer as a 240 V heating element plus a 120 V motor/control load.

Reuse for any residential or light commercial panel wiring diagram where a main breaker feeds multiple branch circuits with mixed 120/240 V loads.
