What is difference between meter socket adapter and panel surge arrester?

A meter socket adapter is used when solar energy is required to be fed back to the grid from a home owners solar array system. The adapter is on the line side of the service between the utility meter and the utility meter base. A meter base surge protector is a device to stop surging from lightning strikesfrom the grid from entering your home. This device is also connected to the line side of the service between your utility meter and the utility meter base.

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.

What is the cable between the service panel and electric meter called?

Whether you have an overhead or underground feed, that section of the installation is referred to as Service Entrance Conductors. On an overhead installation, it includes the conductors on BOTH sides of the meter, from the service drop conductors (attached at the service head) to the service equipment LINE terminals. On an underground installation, it refers only to the conductors between the meter's LOAD side and the service equipment LINE terminals. The conductors on the LINE side of the meter come from a distribution transformer and are unbroken between the transformer and your meter.
