My eyes are getting terribleIt is clearly Square D. The pic in #1 shows the yellow Square D symbol on the bottom right breaker.
Thanks! The panel is a couple thousand miles away in Hawaii so I appreciate the detective work based on the photo. My search on the internet revealed its most likely a 100 amp panel based on the 20 slots and the 100 amp main breaker. I intend to have an electrician evaluate the panel when I arrive. I want to add an in line water heater 220 50 amp, an air conditioner 220 20 amp, and bring the kitchen circuits up to code with 2 20 amp Circuits but I am concerned that the panel may not be able to carry that load. The breakers all add up to over 250. Perhaps I need to reconsider? I’m in the planning stage.It is clearly Square D. The pic in #1 shows the yellow Square D symbol on the bottom right breaker.
Firework you can’t add all them breakers what you are looking at on the breaker amperage. That’s called your calculated load and you also have a connected load. On an average day your probably pulling 15 amps max on your home The double pole breakers are not on at the same time like your stove, hot water heater, dryer etc. In my mind you have nothing to worry aboutThanks!

Thanks for your input! I’m going to have a pro evaluate the panel and look over my plan when I get to the island. Hopefully I can hire him to help me with the tough stuff.
