Okay, here's the situation. 300' of 2" pvc between the meter and the residence, probably just 3 90's. Wire is presently size 4 AWG. I want to replace it with 2/0.
I will probably need a tugger and a generator to power it. I have some ideas on how to accomplish this cleanly, the first time, but honestly my only experience with large wire pulls comes from my union days a decade ago, and that was all EMT and rigid, etc.
Should I pull out the #4's except one, and use it to pull in the 2/0? Or use the last #4 to pull in a rope? I can't see how using the #4 as a pull wire would work with the tugger. Any advice or tips would sure be appreciated.
