Question: if you upgrading a service panel from 100amps to a 200amper you have to take out the 2awg feeders and replace them with 4/0 alm ..but do the ui guys have to bring a higher awg service drop or is it already sized for such an occasion
The utility company will not need to change the service drop if the amperage of the service is being increased. The service drop is sized to handle the maximum load that the home can draw, and this load is not affected by the amperage of the service panel. Flag for review
