If you fire up a 50-amp welder and have the oven running 30 amps, and the fridge compressor kicks on, it will likely pop the breaker. You can upgrade to 200 amp, it's not a huge deal. I am currently running a fully equipped 1500 sq ft shop and 2100 sq ft home on a 200 amp service without any problems, we will see if the AC this summer causes an issue. BTW, I run a welder and compressor at the same time, along with the lights (CFLs), radio and the whole house running too.</p></blockquote><p></p>
