I upgraded my house from 100A to 200A 5 years ago. I buried 3" conduit from
the pole to the house.
I was told the 3" would support 400A.
At the time I did not have the money to install 400A, so I just thought I
could find a 400A panel later.
I do not think they make a residential 400A panel, and from what I have
seen it uses two 200A panels.

I am still wanting to put 400A service to my house, to try to cut on my
electric bill. ($565.00 last month).

In the 3" conduit, do they use 6 wires for the 400A to a two 200A meter
pan, or use larger wires to a 400A meter pan?

I probably will get the call an electrician, but I feel as though I can do
the install, just wanted some info on how it is done.

Thanks.




Believe many have established that going to 400A service isn't going to
change your electric usage, consequently, your electric bill.

Just one caution running electrical service conduit. If, for any reason,
you have to cross 2 service conduits at approximately perpendicular to and
physically near each other, the meter may register additional power usage.
