Who makes a main breaker 200 amp service that has built in 200 amp gfci?
NOBODY!
For 200 amps service do you use 100 amps per 120 volt leg?
A 200 ampere service provides 200 amperes per leg
Can you hook up 200 amp dervice to a 125 amp service panel?
No. If device draws 200 amps breaker will trip.
How do you find out how big your main breaker box is?
Simple. Your main electrical panel will have a "main breaker". This will be a two pole breaker, usually at the top of the panel. It will have a number on the breaker "handle" such as 150 or 200. This is the maximum number of amps your panel can supply. Most newer homes, 1975 and newer have a 200 amp service.
What is the maximum amps each phase conductor carries on 200 amp residential service?
If the mains is a 200 amp two pole breaker each leg can carry up to 200 amps in relationship to the common neutral of the service.

How many breaker amps will a 200 amp service with no main breaker support?
Check the nameplate on the service panel. There it will tell you what the buss capacity is. On a 200 amp service nothing in the wiring configuration is allowed to be less than that the service rating. In the market there are 200 amp 42 circuit distribution panels.

What size breaker for a 208 volt single phase motor that pulls 1.4 amps?
208 volts is not a common single phase voltage but you could just size your breaker to the capabilities of the conductor. 208 is normally a phase to phase voltage <<>> Many 230 volt motors can be connected to lower voltage supplies. These motors can be connected to supplies of 208 and 200 volts. The code requirement is that the 230 volt full load amperage of the motor be increased by 10% and 15% respectively for wire sizing and breaker selection. To answer the question you will need a two pole 15 amp breaker.
If you have a 200A Meter Main Combo do you need a main 200A breaker in the panel?
When I went to a 100 amp service I could not find a 100 amp. breaker in stock. I used a 60 amp. breaker and have never blown it. The 200 amp you are using can handle up to 200 amps, but if you use a smaller breaker it will only handle up to that amperage. The 200 amp is usally the total amperage of all the breakers comming out of the box. You will probably never come anywhere near using 200 amps at one time.
What size wire for 240 volts 200 amp service 200 feet away?
A 3/0 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 200 amps for 200 feet on a 240 volt system.
What size wire would you run from 200 amp meter box underground 160 ft to a 200 amp breaker box?
This is a voltage drop question and without a voltage the question can not be answered. As service voltages increase the wire size is allowed to be reduced. Assuming that the 200 amp service is for a home, the voltage of 240 volts will be used in the calculation. A 3/0 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 200 amps for 160 feet on a 240 volt system. The code should be consulted on this installation as the utility company might not allow wires with no over current protection to come from the bottom of their meter to an underground service. There is a meter base in the market place that has an over current device mounted directly below the meter socket. This breaker will fulfill the requirement if the utility company says no to your original installation idea.
Why does your 200 amp electric panel only have 20 breaker slots?
Some 200 amp breaker panels are made with only 20 slots.
What size conductors are needed to run a 650 foot residential underground electric service for a 200 amp service?
A 350 MCM copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 200 amps for 650 feet on a 240 volt system.
