residential sub panel calculation

[MasterTheNEC]

I started this thread as I merely wanted to be sure that there wasn't some obscure code for calculating the load for a sub panel. I assure you I know how to add up existing loads, both L-L and L-N. I can even count the fingers on one hand twice and usually give the same answer. The EC that did this house should honestly have his license pulled and his workmanship was terrible and doing things like bonding the sub panel neutral and under sizing the feeder for it was inexcusable. Thank you all for your responses.

Workmanship is subjective at best.....What you consider as good workmanship may not to someone else...thus the subjective nature of the statement. We have to assume diversity at some stage in the game but not sure I would echo the statement of "pulling anyones license" based on the limited information provided...besides are we also to assume it was inspected as well...heck if so I assume it was passed so you might want to pull the electrical inspectors license as well.....if you are pulling licenses.

Not sure I saw the statement...but is the 60A remote distribution panel tripping???....are the conductors protected in accordance with their ampacity?......could anyone AFTER THE FACT overload a panel beyond what it's original intent...most certainly...
