We are renovating an old house and have converted it to 3 apartments. We had a 200 amp panel in the basement and a sub panel on the first floor. WE have been upgrading the wiring (most of which was knob and tube) and we have added new wiring to the sub panel box. The problem is that half of the fuse (that is feeding the sub panel) in the main panel is blowing every so often. I assume that we have too much load on the sub panel.
I am not sure if transferring some of the load to the main panel box will do any good because they may then overload the main panel.
I thought I would try this route before I call in an electrician.
I am not sure just how much a 200 amp can handle. Obviously , not all amps are being used at all times.
