What size ground wire is required for 80 amp service?
Ground is sized based on the size of the feeder wire and not the amps of the service! However, for a 600 amp service 1500MCM copper wire is one option (NEC 310.16) ;therefor, ground wire is 3/O copper (NEC 250.66) or another option is a two sets of 350 MCM copper wire then a #2 copper (since the biggest feeder wire is 350MCM).
