When installing service above ground for a 350 amp (one 200 amp and one 150 amp main breaker panels) what size wire is allowed. This is a commercial location...not a dwelling. I will be
using copper conductors.
The reason I ask is because the standard around here with inspectors for 400 amp is to use 500
kcmil which is rated for 380 amps at 75 deg c. So if thats the case is 350 kcmil good for 350
amp as a service.
The inspectors Are you back home so I can stop by and look at the ac breaker? care about load
calcs on the service. They make that very clear. They only care that their is 350 amps between the two main breakers.
