Check the main service disconnect label for the amp rating

Look for a marking such as 100A, 100 Amp, or 100 Amps on the main breaker

Verify the service type on the panel label: 3-phase, 4-wire, or 3Ø

Inspect the meter socket and service equipment for the service rating label

Confirm the utility service drop or service lateral is three-phase

Check the panel bus rating and main lug or main breaker rating

Verify the feeder conductors are sized for 100 amp service

Confirm the disconnecting means is rated at 100 amps minimum

Check the electrical drawings or one-line diagram for service size and phase

Review the utility service order or account records for service classification

Measure line-to-line and line-to-neutral voltages with proper test equipment

Confirm the presence of three hot conductors

Verify the neutral conductor is present if the system is 4-wire

Check the nameplate on transformers or service equipment for phase and amp rating

Have a licensed electrician or utility representative verify the service rating
