Feeding 100amp panel

Coming out from my house panel to new building

We need more information.

Is the panelboard in a remote structure? How far apart are the two panelboard's?

Jerry please keep you questions and responses in the same thread.

OK
Thank you for your help

To drive 100 amp 200 feet underground, will take a four wire aluminum 2/0 AWG. Also, neutral and ground have to be isolated at the remote panelboard and the remote building must have its own grounding system.

Actually, it 2/0, not 2. At that distance 2 AWG just won't cut it.
If it was a service panel, 2 would be adequate sine you can de-rate a service... but not for a sub-panel.

Thanks for catching my typo. Don
