I live in south california, and I would like to know what are the standar electrical code for upgrading the main electrical breaker panel?
I am planning to hire a profesional electrician. However; I want to ask a few question about electrical code before he start the job. I do not want the inspector to come back so many times. Now in days anybody can call them self a profesional. i want to upgrade to 100 amps panel. I would to know what number wire to use from the service entrance to the panel? what ground wire number to use for a 100amps. what type of pipe rigid or EMT and what size? ground rod how deep it should go, and where part of the house should be installed? last but no least, how it will be better to install the panel flash to the wall or mount it on the wall and why? it will be nice if you quys can help me on this one or at least tell me if there is any web page.
Thank you so much.
