    Wire size for 200 amp service
    I am adding a new service to a pole barn. What wire size do I need to use from the meter socket to the pole when the pole is about 400 feet away? I need to know the wire size for 100 amp service and a 200 amp service?
    Thanks

    Get yourself a copy of the NEC for reference or you may ask the local utility company in your area.
