I typed up a long back story and realized that I wouldn't read it myself. Ill ask the question then fill in the back story if need be. Ranch house, while Id like to keep it safe I don't necessarily think code is an issue? We had a 220v 50 amp breaker that didn't trip and burnt the bus bar that it was connected to. This happens to be the one on the right that is shared between the hot water heater and range. I can shut the power off via the outside box, confirmed and double checked.
Id like to replace this with a square D that allows me to get rid of the tandem and not double up on that 220. I'm somewhat confused with the naming of spaces and circuits. I will need 16x 20amp and what will be 4x 50amp 220. What box would be recommended for this install? Ill deal with grounding via pigtails or take suggestions if the new box requires it.
I don't mind replacing all the breakers, probably a good idea anyhow. Unfortunately the house is over an hour away from the nearest store so I need to take everything with me the first time. Please excuse the wallpaper, it dates the house and is only in this closet :)
Thanks in advance for your time.
