I've got a few services I need to install and I've come up with load calculations 360 and 378 amps (2 different services). Would this be a 400 amp service? I think I've heard that panels and meter cans and such are rated for 80% so a 400 amp panel could only take 320 amps? Does that mean I'd have to move up to a 600 amp service as far as panels and meter boxes? What about the main breaker? That can still be a 400amp right? Please give NEC references with answers if you can.
