I live in Washington State and need a little advice on moving my meter base, wire sizing, etc - for a 200 amp service. My meter base is on my house and I want to move it over to the carport, mast and all.
It's about 36' from my breaker panel, through the wall, and over to the new location.
The new mast will be about 10' from weather head to the meter base.
1.) Do I need to use 2 pcs 4-0 wire & 1 pc of 3-0 wire for these two runs, or is it legal to use 2 pcs of 3-0 wire & 1 pc of 2-0 wire?
2.) I will have 3 LB's and 3 sweeping 90º curves in this run. I'm not too concerned about the 90º curves, but getting that wire (especially 4-0) through those LB's is concerning me. Can this be accomplished?
3.) I want to use Schedule 40 PVC not metal.
Any advise & tricks of the trade are appreciated!
