What size ground wire should you use on a 1200 amp service?

You need to say whether it's a 150 amp service or a 1200 amp service it has to be one or the other. <<>> A 1/0 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 155 amps. There is no ground wire stated for a 150 amp service so the next size up is a 200 amp service. The ground wire for this size is #6 bare AWG. Without knowing what types of loads that are coming off of the distribution a reduced neutral can not be recommended. The neutral will be the same size as the service conductor which is 1/0.
