Hi. I'm in the planning stages of installing two NEMA 14-50s in my garage and want to get some thoughts on what I can have installed based on my home's 200A service.
I want two 14-50s installed. I already have an electric dryer and an electric oven.
Am I correct, that if I add the numbers printed on the breakers in the box it has to be less than 200?
Based on your experiences, will I go over my 200A limit by adding two 14-50s?
If so, should I downsize to a 14-30 for the second connection? That will be for a future electric water heater (gas currently).
I'm planning on using 2 x UMC at 32A so I'm not worried about actually going over 200A total, I just want to be sure that my plan will work when I present it to an electrician.
