Long distance between service meter and panel
Hi all experts,
I have a project in Costa Rica, just getting ready for the arrival of electricity. My house is 450' from the public road where the transformer is. Because we have a gate at the entrance to the property, the service meter needs to be at the location it is.
Our electrical engineer down there has specified a conduit run with 3/0 THHN (two cables) and 2/0 THHN for the ground. Our panel is 200amps at the house, tied in to a 30KW generator.
I'm looking for a second opinion on the service plans. Any other options? It has to be run underground.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
