I've been running into a lot of panel change outs that were done years ago in order to provide for more branch circuits with no increase in the size of the service entry conductors. One I surveyed this morning was a two hundred ampere split buss panel that was connected to a sixty ampere service entry cable. The customer is asking that the existing panel be updated to breakers. I had to give him the bad news that he was looking at a heavy up rather than a simple change out.

My question is how much of this sort of thing do others see.
