    Replacing service mast
    I am replacing my meter socket and service mast. The jaws on the new meter socket is rated to 75 deg. Celsius, total length of the conductors is ten feet, 200 amp main breaker running 160 amps of sub panels(not loaded very heavily either).I will be using 2" rmc for the mast. Electric company says these conductors are my responsibility. Is 2/0 2/0 2/0 copper adaquate as listed in nec 310.15(B)(6) for service conductor sizing or must I use correction from the table 310.16 and240.4 D for the 75 degree celsius jaws of the meter socket I live in Michigan by the way. Hope I didn't leve anything out
