Hi,
I live in a condo complex where each unit has its own circuit breaker and meter. When I look in the electrical room, I see a switch sticking out of a box with the number "60" on it. I assume this means I have a 60 amp breaker. If I want to install a Tesla wall charger or a 14-50 plug, do I need an electrician to add anything beyond this 60 amp switch? As you can tell, I don't really understand how home circuits work, but I assume some of that 60amps still needs to power my house. And if the Tesla charger takes 60amps, then wouldn't there be no power left to run my home electricity?
Sorry for the newb question, just want to make sure an electrician doesn't rip me off.
