You bond the 200 amp service before you call for an electrical inspection. Without this connection the service will not pass and you will not get a connection by the utility company.

What size grounding wire do you use as the 4th wire running in your conduit from your 200 amp meter box to your 200amp service panel this is the ground wire from box to box?

For a 200 amp service, you would typically use a 4/0 AWG copper wire for the grounding wire running between the meter box and the service panel. This size is suitable for carrying the necessary current and providing proper grounding protection for the electrical system.


Can you use a 200Amp disconect to feed a 100Amp main panel?

No, it is not recommended to use a 200A disconnect to feed a 100A main panel. The disconnect should always be rated equal to or higher than the main panel it is feeding to ensure proper protection and capacity handling. It is important to match the amperage ratings to avoid potential overload and safety hazards.


Can you hook up 200 amp dervice to a 125 amp service panel?

No, it is not safe or recommended to connect a 200 amp service to a 125 amp panel. The panel must be rated to match the amperage of the service to avoid overloading the panel and potential fire hazards. It is important to upgrade the panel to match the service amperage.


What is the largest sub panel you can install off from a 60 amp main panel fed by 100 amp service?

If what you state in this question is accurate this is an illegal installation. A 100 amp service can not have any equipment connected to it less that that of the service size. The 60 amp main panel must be a 100 amp panel to be a legal installation.


How do you wire a 50A service pole from your 200A breaker box so you can keep your motor home plugged up?

If the service pole is only rated for 50 amps, that is all it is designed to handle. The service pole has to be upgraded to handle a home that has a 200 amp entrance panel. Call an electrician and pay for his/her expertise!! Your Family is too important to rely on the advice of a salesperson. I believe your asking how would you add a 50a service pole using your 200amp service? I would highly recommend having a licensed electrician do the work for you as electricity will kill you if you even touched the wrong spot!! Otherwise, You would need all the necessary items from possibly a home improvement ctr and a book on how to do wiring plus all the necessary permits from your town or city etc... (without the proper permits your insurance carrier wouldn't have to pay if a clain were ever made and traced back to your wiring!) Check your 200amp box to see if you have at least 2 empty slots as you'll need at least that many to run that amount of power, 220 volts, Hope this helps a bit.

Should you ground the neutral bus bar to the service panel?

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.The simple answer is...YOU SHOULD BOND THE NEUTRAL BUS-BAR TO THE SERVICE PANEL.Your question makes a mistake common even among electricians. You do not GROUND the neutral bus to the panel. You BOND the neutral bus to the panel. The term "ground" or "grounding" is often applied to "bonding" but bonding serves a different purpose than grounding.To make things more complicated, the rules do not require that you bond the neutral bus to the panel. The rules require that both the neutral bus at the service and any panel be bonded to ground. The panels are bonded to ground usually by direct connection, meaning the ground bars are directly connected to their panels. So for smaller systems the simplest method to bond the neutral bus at the service is to make a direct connection between it and the panel. For larger systems you must use a conductor of an appropriate size to bond the neutral bus to the grounding electrode conductor.I know this may be confusing but that is the reason that grounding and bonding take up more pages in the NEC than any other topics.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
