For a 400 amp service entrance, a grounding conductor of at least 3/0 AWG (American Wire Gauge) copper or 250 kcal (thousand circular mils) aluminum is required, in compliance with electrical codes and regulations. However, specific requirements may vary based on local codes and the specific conditions of the installation, so it's important to consult with a qualified electrician or refer to the applicable building codes for precise guidance.

Notes: 1. Where multiple sets of service-entrance conductors are used as permitted in Section 230-40, Exception No. 2, the equivalent size of the largest service-entrance conductor shall be determined by the largest sum of the areas of the corresponding conductors of each set. 2. Where there are no service-entrance conductors, the grounding electrode conductor size shall be determined by the equivalent size of the largest service-entrance conductor required for the load to be served. 1 This table also applies to the derived conductors of separately derived ac systems. 2 See installation restrictions in Section 250-64(a).

What size ground wire is needed for 200amp service pannel in Chicago?
200 amp service in chicago uses 3 aught.
What size wire do you need for a 150 amp breaker?
A #6 copper ground conductor would be needed.
What size feeders for two 225 amp panelboards?
Use AWG #1 copper service entrance wire and #4 copper ground wire.
What size service ground is needed for a 350 parallel service?
From the question it is hard to establish whether the service size is 350 amps or the service conductors are 350 MCM in parallel. If the service is 350 amps, the grounding conductor is #3 bare copper wire. Parallel 350 MCM conductors will allow for a 600 amp service. The grounding conductor for a 600 amp service is a #1 bare copper wire.
What is the recommended size for a 100 amp service entrance cable?
The recommended size for a 100 amp service entrance cable is typically 2 AWG copper or 1/0 AWG aluminum.

The recommended cable size for a 200 amp service entrance is typically 2/0 AWG copper or 4/0 AWG aluminum.
What size aluminum entrance cable for 100 Amp service?
2 AWG Aluminum.
What is rod earthing?
It is the installation of ground rods at a service entrance distribution to bring the relative resistance to ground to be within 5 ohms of the utility's distribution network. This grounding system is then connected to the service distribution with a calculated size wire and connected to the distribution at a point within the distribution panel, where the service neutral wire joins the neutral bus bar.
What is the minimum size of service entrance conductor?
The wire that is used for connecting the ground rod or plate to the electrical distribution is governed by the size of the electriclal distribution. In Canada a #6 bare copper is the minimum size for a 200 amp service.
