I went to look at potentially doing this single phase 200A residential overhead service change today and it looks like a total nightmare. It's 100A and the main panel is in the middle of the house and with no basement I'm forced to run the new load side of the service feeders up and through the attic. I was originally thinking of using SER but I'm now thinking to run PVC on the outside and up into the attic for only about 15-20'. I like the idea better as SER is a pain to work with and sleeve in PVC.
My questions are:
1) Is there anything in the NEC prohibiting me from running the load side through the attic space? (I've thought about de-rating for the ambient temperature)
2) I'm thinking of using a expansion fitting on the outside as the total run is about 20-30' Is that necessary/good design?
3) What other potentials might I not be seeing at the moment?
