What factors are considered with sizing wire for an electrical service? What I mean by this is, if I have a 600amp service, why should I have to have all three legs of a wye system sized to be able to withstand 600amps, knowing the system will never have 600amps on any leg at any time. I did not respond to the inspector because I didnt know what to say at that point! This is a sanity check for my own good. Thanks again. Is there nothing to be said about a balanced system?
