Am I correct to say that parallel 4/0 aluminum conductors are undersized for a 400amp single phase service. 400amp meter(320) than our to two different 200amp panels.
There are no real calcs that I’m aware of for the service as it’s feeding temporary job trailors. I know the service conductors just need to be sized for the load. Think we should have any problems with inspection?
Duke energy midwest.
4/0aluminum ampacity-180amperes
180x2=360amperes
Derate for 4CCC
360x.80= 288ampacity.
