First please excuse me for not following the numerous threads I have seen posted about this, and excuse me for not searching past threads.
I have an issue on going with my shop and our dwelling guy. I did a 400A service a while back and ran 3/0 from my two 200A mains to the panels. Had our dwelling guy there to land my PNL's and says in this situation he has been running 2/0 to the two PNL's for years and has never had an inspector question it.
I have another this Wed, need to order the feeder wire. Am I missing something that would allow 2/0 to be used for two 200A panels??? I read that 2/0 would be allowed for 100% of the load.
Thanks
