Hi all,
I am changing my 200amp 120/240v overhead residential service to underground service and moving the meter at the same time.
The new run length will be about 135 feet. I had one electrician quote 4/0 aluminum or 2/0 copper, but I'm wondering with that length if I'll be within the allowable voltage drop, which I believe is 3%? My research seems to point to at least 3/0 copper.
Thanks.
