How long can the wires be for a 200amp service with 240 volt?
The wires can be as long as they need to be to make the connection. It is a fact that as the length of the wires are increased, the size of the wire also has to be increased, to over come the voltage drop due to the internal resistance of the wire. A 3/0 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 210 amps. This is the normal size for a 200 amp service. If the service is further away, then the increasing of the wire size starts at 3/0.
