A #2/0 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 185 amps.
In Canada, a # 2/0 wire is allowed to be used for residential 200 amp services only instead of using #3/0. This rule helps the home owner to keep building costs lower.
A #3/0 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees is rated at 210 amps
