This really has no place in the forum, however I thought this to be the best place.
Received a call today from a plumber. He was working above a drop ceiling and "bumped" a #1-3 Conductor (plus ground) cable. Cable goes about 65 feet from Single Phase 120/240V Fused Disconnect (Fused at 100 Amps) and feeds a sub panel. He said he called another electrician before me and was told that it was an overloading issue and that the owner would need to put a new service, disconnect and sub-panel in. I didn't do much investigation seeing as it wasn't a service call for me but assisting a friend. Any thoughts?
