Just a quick question. New service...200a meter to 200a service panel
underground in sch 80 pvc conduit. What size and type of wire ( ie
4/0-4/0-2/0 )?

Thanks in advance.


4/0-4/0-4/0 Aluminum will do. Not sure if the third cable needs to be a 4/0
but that is how the SER and SEU cables are bundled.

At 150 ft the voltage drop will be under 3% for 240v single phase service
which is fine.

Buy some cable grease, pulling stiff cables in conduit is a pain, literally.
