The second one will supply power to the home. A 200 amp sub-panel must be connected to a 200 amp main panel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the main panel, a feeder cable is often run to the subpanel. While a subpanel is being installed, this may occur. This is usually a three-wire cable with a bare copper ground wire, three insulated conductors, and a bare copper ground wire. The cable must be of the <em><strong>appropriate<\/strong> <strong>size<\/strong> <\/em>in order to meet the subpanel&#8217;s amperage requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the event of subterranean service, copper wire or<em><strong> #4\/0 AWG aluminum and copper-<\/strong><strong>clad <\/strong><strong>wire<\/strong> <\/em>must be carried in a minimum of <em><strong>1.5 inches<\/strong><\/em> of schedule 40 or 80 PVC conduit. A 250-kcmil copper wire will be required as well. Make sure you use the correct wire size of 200 amps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here we&#8217;re suggesting some connecting steps below:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure that there are <em><strong>two hot wires in the feeder cable<\/strong><\/em>. One <em><strong>neutral wire<\/strong><\/em>, as well as one <em><strong>bare copper grounding wire.<\/strong><\/em> They&#8217;re all attached to the hot bus bars in your subpanel, and they&#8217;re all linked to the lugs. The 400 amp meter base with lugs has these same lugs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Connect circuit breakers to the wires. Next, before connecting the neutral and ground wires from it to the appropriate bus bars in the main control panel, connect the hot feeder wires to it. An electrician then connects an open double slot on the main service panel feeder breaker.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember to connect both panels to a grounding wire. <em><strong>One<\/strong> <\/em>grounding wire is permitted <em><strong>per building<\/strong><\/em>, however. According to regulation, a single zero copper ground is permissible, as it is stranded and shielded.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bring the <em><strong>1-0 ground<\/strong> <\/em>over to the other panel by bringing it into one 200 amp panel and combining it with another 400 amp service. Each of the panels has neutral bonding to the case, while one major grounding electrode is in the building.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may mount the box up or down, depending on whether you have a main breaker that switches from <em><strong>left to right<\/strong><\/em>. If your box is flush-mounted, you can use a small nail to mount it. A squared connection is supposed to be there.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, you don&#8217;t have to drill all of the holes; simply <em><strong>slide your wire into the square<\/strong><\/em> and it&#8217;ll stay put.
