Tray cable

Is 2/0 tray cable the correct size for 200 amp feeder from main panel to trailer house panel or should it be 3/0 tray cable

I would think you could use something a bit less expensive than tray cable.

Never seen tray cable in resi. Trailers are usually fed with a quad plex with an insulated EGC IIRC. I think it may even called " trailer feeder" or similar.

Mobile home feeder was the term.

May be wrong term the cable has 3-2/0 wires with ground it is direct burial wires we run from meter / main breaker to house panel under trailer sometimes in conduit or strapped under trailer

That would be the mobile home feeder I linked above using copper.

I can only find that cable in AL.

They make a 2/0 cable, but the ampacity is 150A.

Mobile home feeder would be the most likely answer. It is direct bury but needs to be in conduit anywhere it is out of the ground.

Tray cable is cable rated for cable tray use

Tray cable is cable rated for cable tray use

I just saw some last year that was also rated sunlight resistant and for direct burial. A four wire Cu cable.

Yes, a cable may have additional ratings. For instance, MV cable may have a tray rating. You would use MV cable article to determine the bending radius say, not the Cable Tray article.
