A 200 amp service panel with a 60 amp sub-panel.
The wire size in a meter stack is governed by the size of the first over current device.
For a 200 amp service, you would typically use a 4/0 AWG copper wire for the grounding wire running between the meter box and the service panel. This size is suitable for carrying the necessary current and providing proper grounding protection for the electrical system.
Yes, in a residential 200 amp panel, the neutral wire is typically the same size as the hot wires. This is to ensure that the neutral wire can safely carry the same current as the hot wires and maintain proper balance in the electrical system. Always consult the National Electrical Code or a qualified electrician for specific requirements.
For a 200A service, the recommended copper wire gauge for service entrance cable is typically 2/0 AWG (American Wire Gauge). This wire size is able to handle the ampacity required for a 200A service safely and efficiently. It is always recommended to consult with a licensed electrician to determine the appropriate wire size for your specific installation.
The price per meter of electrical wire depends on many things like the size, type and many others. The prices vary from $0.1 per meter to $200 per meter.

Copper SE cable gauge 00 from the meter socket to the breaker panel for a 200A service. Then 8, 10, 12, and 14 gauge wire depending on the load.
The wire coming out of the electric meter is usually the service entrance wire, which connects the meter to the main electrical panel in a building. It is responsible for delivering electricity from the utility company to the building's electrical system.
For a 200 amp service panel to the water meter, it is recommended to use a 4 AWG copper wire or 2 AWG aluminum wire as the ground wire. This will provide sufficient grounding capacity for the service panel and meet code requirements. Be sure to check local electrical codes for specific requirements in your area.
#6 bare copper wire.
AWG # 3/0 copper.
To wire a 100 amp breaker box and safety switch from the power meter, you will need to connect the hot wire from the meter to the main breaker in the breaker box. From there, you will connect the individual circuits to the breakers. The safety switch should be connected after the breaker box to provide an additional level of protection. It's crucial to follow all local building codes and regulations when performing electrical work.
