I am a little embarrassed to be asking this question, but my experience is in industrial settings, factories, power plants etc... I am a licensed journeyman electrician in the State of Michigan, but I don't really do much residential or construction type work, so here goes. I am helping a friend do a service upgrade, and I am not sure what type of conductor to use from the weather-head to the meter. It will be a 200 Amp overhead service, with a RMC mast. I believe I can use 4/0 XHHW in 2 in RMC. I believe XHHW is sunlight resistant, and rated for wet location, and high heat.
If I understand correctly I can't use SER cable. I am curious as to whether or not I can use URD wire like they sell at the Big Box stores, I don't believe I can, but I would just like to make sure.
Thanks
