when is your service maxed?

if an engineer says

"...The electrical panel is 400amp/240v/1 ph

We currently have 335 amps connected to the panel before the addition of the dishwasher

The dishwasher will overload the panel..."

the dishwasher looks to have 50 rated amps, 60 amp minimum supply circuit conductor ampacity & 60 amp maximum overcurrent protective device per the spec sheet.

when I add 50 amps to 335 amps I get 385 amps how does that over load the panel?

doesn't work that way. have load calcs done per code, works that way!

I would ask how you determined that you have 335 amps connected to the panel. Did you add the breakers or do a calculation?
