Get the rating of the breaker, derate by at least 20% for margin.

That has absolutely nothing to do with what he asked.

I have no idea what a transformer can handle but it is a lot. The bottleneck is going to be your meter. Meters (where your house is connected to the electrical service) are rated in amps. You can do the math and figure your existing load and how much you can add. 200 amp service is pretty common in modern homes.

Frankly my take on this is that they want to directly hook up to the feed lines. As in steal the power. If so, they deserve to go up in a nice fireball.

I have no way to ask to the electricity company how many watts I can use in my house, and I have no way to calculate how many electrical devices are connected to the transformer in my block.
Is there a way to find out how many Watts I can drag from the transformer?
