Retaining existing downstream distribution
Identify the equipment expected to remain. The scope should distinguish the service change from any separate work needed to support new loads beyond it.
What remains limited after an upgrade?
A larger incoming service and a retained workshop feeder can form two different capacity boundaries. Power still passes through that feeder's conductors, terminations and supplying protection before reaching the workshop. The new service rating does not change those components or the circuits beyond them.
For a proposed new machine, trace which distribution point would supply it and identify the equipment already operating there. This gives the evaluation two clear questions: whether the property supply suits the combined demand and whether the destination path suits the new connection. The written scope should say which boundary is being altered.
