If you had to feed a 200a temp panel what is the most common wiring method? Do they make romex rated for 400A...I did not think they go that big. Alum feeder MC??? Thanks

Why would you want 400 amp cable for a 200 amp temporary?
My bad I meant 200a...3/0
Aluminum MC cable would be my choice. Cheap and light weight.
Is your temp panel going to be the service point or is it being fed from another overcurrent device ?
MC is cheaper than SE/SER??? IDK prices what so ever.
Can't panels be fed with Romex???
Locally, mosty often it's 4/0 SER strung overhead.
I have no idea what your posted labor units are based on but without a doubt at all we would use aluminum SER cable.
It is what we use for all our temp feeders both inside and outside.
I understand but I was just bringing up the point that the labor is MUCH more for SER so was thinking the matrial would have to be MUCH cheaper than MC to make it a better option...thanks
Just checked and AL feeder MC is half the price fo AL SER....don't understand how SER for temp would be cheaper...sorry just asking
