200A will need 4/0AWG Aluminum wire or 2/0AWG Copper. Check with your power
company. They will advise you as to weather your meter socket and wiring is
good for the 200A service.

I would like to upgrade my existing panel 100 amp Federal Pioneer with
a 200 amp panel.
the feeds from the meter to the panel (about 30 feet) are Alcan B 2
AWG. The feeds are in a conduit and will need upgrading, but I am not
sure about the wiring size. The meter is labelled '2-200a 240v 1ph type
j5s 3 wire 60 vc' so I assume it will handle the upgrade, but I will
have that checked. Can anyone indicate the feeder wire size from the
meter to the panel, CU or AL that may be required?

Thanks
Akley
