    Borrowed from:
    Manitoba Hydro's Residential Wiring Guide
    Right side halfway down pg11

    #2/0 AWG with 90 C insulation
    on the conductors is used with
    a 200 amp service.


    That's what I had installed when we went to 200amp.

    Other Provinces may be different, where is you?
