I am constantly running into 200a commercial services that the original installer used 4/0 alluminum as the service conductor. I am not going to quote the code here but we all should know that we can not install wiring tthat is supplied by wiring that contains code violations as we become liable for the existing wiring we attaced to. Therefore the way I see it I can not do any wiring on the premis if the service is in violation. Do you agree? Also I would like to know why the electrical inspectors are passing these 200a commercial services using 4/0 al. When the required wire size is 250mcm al. I certainly am not the smartest guy in the trade and I am open to being factually corrected (that includes my bad spelling and grammer skills)
