6 Load Calculation Worksheet review instructions: The size of the existing service MUST be equal to or larger than the minimum
required size of main service breaker. If the existing service panel is smaller than the minimum required size of existing
electrical services, then a new upgraded electrical service panel must be installed in order to handle the added electrical load
from the proposed EVCS.
