An electrician ran an underground service for 760' using 350mcm AL to a
200A meter socket. A second electrician ran 2" pvc from the socket to a
200A mainbreaker panel and installed 4/0 AL.
The load on the service is minimal, if there is a 75A load at this point I would be surprised. But there are plans for future expansion.
I questioned the voltage drop calculation for the 350's but I flagged the 4/0's.
And cited 230.42, 310.15B and 230.90A.
He cited 240.4 B.
These articles seem to contradict each other. Am I missing something?
