Yes, you are correct. I suppose I should have said between the utility transformer and the meter. I thought everything up to and including the meter was the utilities equipment. I can't think of a time thato I have ever had to run the cables to the meter.

On bigger installations, the utility would be very happy to agree on primary metering (the utility's only concern is the HV side lines and the corresponding metering equipment). They get to do away with distribution transformer losses!

Yes Sir you are exactly right!. The engineer came back with 3/0 wire. they said the VD doesnt apply to Service entrance wire.

An exception to Ohm's Law! :lol:
