Jeremy,

I put a 75A circuit in my house for low power testing (18kVA). Anybody
in kVA could have installed it (me too), however, I chose to have a
licensed electrician wire the box for insurance reasons. My homeowner's
insurance will not cover electrical faults on equipment installed by
non-licensed contractors (yours probably won't either).
