It depends on what you want it to look like. it could be run underground in plastic conduit. Above ground in metal conduit, or overhead. If there is a fence or railing running from the breaker to the hot tub the conduit can run along that. If it is run along the ground it should be marked or covered to avoid accidental damage to it.

Can you install a 2 20 breaker into a breaker box that has space but all other breakers add up to more amps than the 200 amp main breaker?

No, you cannot install a 2x20 amp breaker if the total amperage of all the breakers exceeds the main breaker rating, as this would overload the system. The total amperage of the breakers should not exceed the main breaker rating to ensure safe operation of the electrical system.


How do you find out how big your main breaker box is?

Simple. Your main electrical panel will have a "main breaker". This will be a two pole breaker, usually at the top of the panel. It will have a number on the breaker "handle" such as 150 or 200. This is the maximum number of amps your panel can supply. Most newer homes, 1975 and newer have a 200 amp service.

How do you read breaker box amps?

The main breaker will have marking indicating size of electrical service, or if it is a fuse system....the fuses will have current ratings. If it is a subpanel, it might not have a main breaker. In this case you would have to look in the panel that the feed is coming from and find the size of the breaker that is feeding it. In either case you must look for the manufacturer's label that will have the maximum current the panel can handle, make sure the breaker feeding the panel doesn't exceed this rating.
