If you know how to be safe around electricity, you can look in the electrical service panel and check the service entrance conductor size, the main breaker size, and the the service panel rating.

Very nice video Paul. Very good work. On a side note..Do you happen to know John Mills? I'm pretty sure he has also taught for Mike Holt before.

I dont know him personally....and I do believe he has. I dont actually teach for Mike Holt, I own my own consulting business and use his material and sit on his expert panels for the making of his DVD products but thats about it.

Ahh I see. Ok. Just thought maybe you guys had met sometime. John happens to be one of the sharpest electricians I've met. I call him the walking, talking Code Book...lol.
