Best Answer

there is no right or wrong answer to your question. If it is a long run that you have to do you just upsize to the proper wire to account for the voltage drop with the longer distance. If you need a definite answer you can go to your nearest Home Depot and buy an "ugly's" pocket manual that will answer a lot of your questions.

200 amp electric service Do you ground the meter pan and the circuit panel?

Ground the meter base only if it's a duplex. Otherwise, ground at the main switch or panel.


What size bonding jumper for 200 amp service panel?

There is no bonding jumper wire required on a 200 amp service panel. The meter stack is metallic and is continuous from the mast head down to the distribution panel. If you are talking about the ground wire for a 200 amp panel it requires a #6 bare copper conductor that connects the grounding rod or plate to the neutral point in the distribution panel. Assuming the answer above is an example of a service, where the meter is stacked above the first service disconnect and is mated to this panel by a threaded hub. However if your meter were to be mounted beside your first service disconnect and a metal nipple with lock nuts were used for raceway. You would be required to have a bonding jumper on that nipple sized according to NEC Table 250.122. So for 200 amp that would be #6 copper or #4 aluminum.
