Default What Size Electric Drop Is This?

The size the utility company uses, has no bearing on the size the
electrician uses at your house. Chances are it's an old service with
hard drawn #6 copper, and the house has a 100 amp service. I've
connected 2/0 copper to #6 from the utility company for a 200 amp
service. They play by different rules


Interesting; thank you. So in your example what happens if you actually
pull 200A, significant voltage drop?
