Just was wanting to know I'm building my own home and I will have 200 amp service the meter will be approximate. 80-90 feet from the panel in the house I will be going underground. Now I know 4/0 alum
tri plex will carry the 200 amp service the question is will I have a voltage drop that will make my electric bills higher than if I would step up to the next wire gage size. Would this make a big difference ? I was talking to a friend and he said that if I went with the lager wire my electric bills would be lower because I would not have the same voltage drop.And this would make you utility bills lower. :roll:
